I wish Israel would quit trying to force some sort of conflict that will ultimately end up requiring American military involvement. (Because it would; I don't have faith in our leadership that we would be kept out of it, as we ought to be. I think it was Marshall who advised Truman to NOT get involved with Israeli-Palestinian relations over 60 years ago. Didn't work, but it was a good try.) I mean, I know why they're trying to get us to pledge to their aid - in a fair unaided fight, I think the Palestinians could take 'em. Just IMHO as an admittedly non-military strategist. But I don't WANT us in the middle of this conflict.
Yeah, I'm selfish about my nation's resources and wary of some of its political affiliations. Sue me.
