It'll be something novel seeing them get up off their collective ass and fight their own battle.

Haven't you learned yet that oil paves an easy path for many scum-bags in the world?

Redistribution of wealth is something new?
How long have you had your eyes closed?
How long have we donated to Israel?
How much have we donated for years to corrupt governments in cesspools like Vietnam with no benefit to America?
How much did we spend to install a corrupt regime in Iraq with no benefit to the US?
Why talk about redistribution of wealth as something new?

Israel has been held in check by the United States for several decades. I find it curious that you don't voice the same criticism for America's "other" allies in the area,...namely Turkey, Saudia Arabia, and other Arab "allies". None of them have "fought their own battles",....one need only look at Desert Storm and the Saddam Hussein threat. Where was your misguided anger there?
Look at Iran. Who is leading the charge there,....America? Why do you not encourange Iran's neighbors to act on their own accord rather than looking to the United State's "blood and money"? You are just a hypocrite,...an anti-Semitic one at that.
Had it not been for America holding the reins some years back, Israel would be much larger and would have much less threat from its present neighbors. If Obama doesn't get off his anti-Israel kick, you may just get your wish,...Israel will get off its "ass" and start kicking Iran and the Palestinians in their collective asses.
cdne, You're right. In fact, no people in the world have lost more lives, per capita, from terror attacks and wars than the people of Israel.
No foreign armies have joined them and Israel has never asked them to do so. They have fought alone against enormous odds for 61 years.
On the other hand, America's Arab/Islamic "allies", including those for whom America has spilled it's blood, lead the opposition to the US. Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:
Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $1.5 billion non-military, several billion military annually in US Foreign Aid.
Pass it along. Everyone needs to know this. Might even mention it to your congressman, who knows this anyway... what a disgrace... no wonder the world has no respect for us.

Well, if you'd bothered to look you'd find I usually refer to the Saudis as scum or its equivalent.
Misguided anger? I don't think so. I don't believe any of the players in the middle east have ever shown a sincere desire to achieve a lasting peace nor do I believe in the US fighting anyone's battles for them. As far as I'm concerned US ME policy should be simple, tell those involved they can either learn to live together or they can die together, mess with the US and you will be vaporized.

Oh stop with your whiney 'anti-semitic' BS, and THAT's what it is, a steanming pile of crap. I care about America's interests, if other countries want to die over the "My God is better than your God argument" I don't care, they'll get what they deserve.

IF you're going to invoke the UN as if it's meaningful you'll just have to explain Israel's refusal to cooperate in the investigation of alleged war crimes. Or will you just pick and choose when to conveniently invoke the UN?
