Phil > Obviously, I will be looking at what positions they take in the larger war against Islamist terrorism

Islamist terrorism, or simply Islamism, is now the nebulous threat that defines the US self-interest. No more Al Qaeda, no more bin Laden, no more Saddam, no more insurgency, no more Taliban -- in other words, no need for a new manufactured bogey man every year. Islam is the enemy. Period.

Furthermore, Islam is also the big threat Israel faces so, by the US having to fight the same generic enemy as Israel, the US can "legitimately" fight the Zionists' wars.
