I don't buy the ridiculous notion that if we just abandon Israel the Arabs will love us. It IS a ridiculous notion, and it is naive for us [or anyone] to believe that our troubles with the Arabs start and stop with the Palestinian issue. The plight of the Palestinians is little more than a whipping boy for the Arabs. If one looks at the evolution of AQ, the agenda more closely resembles the Unabomber Manifesto than it does any deep seated concern for the Palestinians or Israel's "occupation" of Arab lands. You could pick Irasel up and move them to Arizona today, and it wouldn't change the Arab hatred for the United states one iota.

Who cares what the Arabs think. I don't. My central premise is that we want to spend more money on people in the Middle East than on Americans. It's time to stop giving away our treasury to Israelis, Iraqis, and our oil money to all the countries in the Middle East. Instead, let's keep our own money and spend it on our problem. Let's get energy independent and stop sending our oil money overseas. You guys are so worried about other countries. What about our own? We have plenty of problems right here at home. If we spent more time solving our own problems instead of meddling in others, then we wouldn't be $10 Trillion in debt.
