I don't see what the USA sees in Israel, I think they're as bad as the countries surrounding them.
Its military is the most humanitarian in the world.
you are a funny guy.

both sides need to teach there children not to hate.[/quote:77174]True. However, that doesnt change the fact that their military is, if not the most humanitarian, close to it. Again, look at the russian chchen wars. Israel handled and continues to handle situation as well as any other country in their situation possibly could, and has inflicted as few civilian casualties as possible. And if assassinating people is so bad then why did the US invade a country just so they could assassinate one man(Osama). After all, there is no question about it, the US would see to it that he got the death penalty. Or theyd shoot him on the spot.

I kind of agree with Short Hand... nobody like that has existed for quite a few years now. Probably the most well-know and recent person like that was Princess Diane? eek:

if we turned away from petroleum and found an alternative energy source that was located or can be made right here in the US, then there would be no need to deal with the middle east. the problem would just settle itself.

Partly true. But there is still the problem with Israel. I doubt the US will stop supporting Israel anytime soon. Thus the conflict in the middle east won't end anytime soon.

Israel has wanted to beat the shit out of Iran for a long time. They have also stated they want the US to help them, or just do it for them as the case is with Iraq. They'll probably get their wish.

yeah that is true. they all wanted it and they were ready for it, but it sucks how the world has changed because of it. still, the great war has its benefits, but its sad how people dont learn from the past..

id pick israel over iran anyday, but im just getting tired of having to deal with the middle east. there is nothing there except oil. if we didnt need oil, we wouldnt be dealing with any of them.

All the Islamic countries tried to crush Israel before, and got their asses handed to them. That is why they use terrorist tactics now.
