IMO, the US has no business going to war for Israel when the US is not threatened and it is not in the US's interest to do so. I have no problem with the US maintaining relations with Israel, and assisting Israel if she is attacked. But Israel is not a state of this union, and IMO not even among our closest allies. It is not, IMO, in the interest of the US to maintain a policy that is partisanly biases towards Israel and against Muslim states.
How does bin Laden's statement prove Iraq was supporting AQ?

Iriemon said: “So your point is we really went to war because Hussein gave money to Palesetian family survivors of fighters who died in their fight against Isreal?”
No, my point is that you are a terrorist propagandist for calling terrorists “fighters”:
|
Hussein's payments to Palestinian survivors was distributed to all families whose members died fighting Israel, whether terrorist tactics were used or not. Suggesting it just went to terrorists' families is inaccurate.

I think TOT only suspects you are anti-Semitic because of what else he believes you support. If you support Arabs killing the Jews according to the Hamas charter, you can‘t be anti-Semitic. That is according to the brother of a Palestinian I once worked with who encouraged me to read Mein Kampf, and who once told a joke when I mentioned how good German cars were; “If the Germans are so efficient, how come we have an Arab/Israeli problem?”

TOT calls anyone who questions his rabid anti-Muslim pro-Israel rhetoric an "anti-semite". That is certainly not limited to me.

On topic, I don’t believe it would be prudent to support unity government with Hamas or tyranny. As Jimmy Carter like support for unity government with civilian disguised Hamas suicide bombers to spare Palestinians from death, and then not supporting Musharraf would be hypocritical. We should not support something unless we feel it is benign. We don’t have to destroy something we do not support, but we must be clear in our diplomatic language.

IMO we should support neither Palestine nor Isreal. We should be objective and neutral. IMO we should do what we can to broker a solution, but it is a huge mistake IMO to make that ancient problem our own. It was not Americans who moved to the ME in droves and set up a religious state in Judea or Palestine or whatever its called.
