And what is your answer to why we chose to restore a corrupt dictatorial monarchy to Kuwait rather than "unleashing" democracy there?

So in your view, Israel is this lonely little child that needs constant protection and nurturing of the US. Without it, it would perish, unable to fend for itself...very twisted view considering they are the 4th largest military power in the world.

And since we are on the subject, have I ever advocated that we use US military to destroy Israel? I've simply asked that we don't meddle in other people's affairs, unless we can articulate clearly what our objectives are and what we are gaining from spending the resources.

BTW, you have not answered any of my questions. I did not ask you what the pretexts for US misbehavior were. I simply asked you why Israel should be treated differently than we treat every other country. What are our interests in supporting Israel?

Isn't that a Nazi trait?
