So you don't mind spitting on the wisdom of the founding fathers when it comes to refusing to be involved in entangling alliances?
Do you think the Founding Fathers would be incapable of seeing the world in 2009 is very different from the one in their time?
The Founders included instructions for dealing with a number of things that were hot topics in their time in the Constitution. Other equally weighty issues were not addressed by the Constitution at all. I expect for a reason.
right though they have tried to go on by conquering more areas and receiving monthly welfare checks. its only a matter of time christians go for a land grab too in that area because of bibical history in the area
I can't help but think there's some kind of blackmail or extortion going on. Nothing else makes sense. Not that that does either. Israel is like some kind of parasitic sacred cow! It provides the U.S. with NOTHING that we can't get somewhere else at a lower cost! The relationship with them is nothing but a costly liability.
Remember the U.S.S. Liberty when discussing "our friends"!
I find it better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.
We just celebrated the the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. If you're my age or older you will understand the significance of that event and all that had to take place before that could ever happen. Many along the way wanted to compromise with our ideological enemies. They lacked the vision of true patriots like Reagan who saw beyond the stalemate. The world is a screwed up place full of people who do not wish us well and never will. There is no olive branch Muslims will accept, but we can work to establish modern democracies in that part of the world, and perhaps, in time, bring the Middle Eastern nations into the twenty-first century.

Israel isn't the solution either so why should we keep feeding them $$$ ?
Source for what? The hate the world has for Israel and Western World? The hate that was brought about because of Israel Palestinian land?
Just go to J-Stor or LexusNexus and type in arab-union arms race And you can see how it all happened.
You can also learn that Israel was pulling the chains of the US and Soviet Union at the time because it didn't know who would end up the "victor" of the Cold War.
Then France joined the Tripartite Declaration and Israel had to break its connections from the Soviet Union and you have the entire Middle East and eastern world hating Israel and its allies.
It's amazing how some of the folks in here can't see how their ideology about the Jewish people correlates with that of Kristallnacht and those same ideologies that allowed that atrocity to follow...

Some people might want to take in a little information and seriously asses their stances against that moment in time.
Maybe some people do not believe in Theocracy. Which is why most of the world thinks non-secular governments make no sense and why many republicans/conservatives/libertarians have broken away from the theocratic reign that has been ushered into the republican party.
People on both sides of the political spectrum understand that "church and state" separate work.
I am not opposed to Judaism or support for Judaism but I am opposed to giving a religion a homeland, unless it can be done peacefully-ie Vatican City, so it might be better to find a new place. Find a place that supports Judaism and its beliefs.
The LAST CRUSADE! We must recover the HOLY LAND for all of CHRISTIANDOM. We must. GOD TELLS US TO DO THIS OR BE FOREVER CONDEMMED TO HELL!
Kidding, I think.
God didn't tell them, the pope did.
Islam exploded out of the desert at the tip of the sword and were stopped only when Charlemagne was able to put up a defense....in France!. But of course, you have no problem with this.
