Oh builder, I did think long and hard before I posted but apparently you did not. Obviously you sir missed the history lesson. To put it in elementary terms for you: What has 60 years of coddling Isreal accomplished for our interest? Exactly what George Washington said would happen.

Lets read it a little slower this time.....

"a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification."

BTW..... Israel is probably the best intelligence gather in the world and has one of best militaries in the world. I don't think for one moment, Israel is going to sit back while Iran gets nukes any more then they let Iraq in the 80s......When the time comes, they will without a doubt do something about it, if we already haven't.

Am I hoping Israel gets wiped out?.....Not hardly but Israel has proven they can take care of themselves so it may be.
