No one outside perhaps (and then I'm not sure) of a few Jewish precincts would agree with that characterization. The US is quite confident of what it stands for, and does not depend upon Jewish support to sustain that belief (although we are quite used to Jewish moral leadership, in the last 50 years.) Doug

<<<<Can you guess how much I or the rest of the US gives a sh*t about an Israeli backlash?>> Apparently you don't think there would be a problem. The Iraqis have received many reprimands from the US in the last few years. At this point the number of innocent children in Iraq who've died at the hands of the US/United Nations sanctions is in the many millions. They are dying daily in hospitals of starvation and common treatable diseases. But no medical supplies or food due to the sanctions. Far more have died than if Sadam were to unleash his (suspected) weapons of mass distruction all at once and they all found their targets. The number of similar violations to American mandates that the Israelies have committed in recent years far exceeds the Iraqis. Again, I can't imagine in my wildest dreams a US strike at Israel, or what the US would do if the Israeli government made a serious challenge to the US. That is only because, I honestly believe most Americans give very serious consideration to this and would do nearly anything to avoid it.
