jbgusa"No. Israel is the West's beachhead in a volatile part of the world, much like Normandy was the Allies' beachhead in WW II. Don't we need some place to amass force in that part of the world if necessary?"

To the underlined: the answer is NO. 70 years post WWII, when we are in an era where massive landings of tens of millions of military are not the norm, when no comparable military power to the USA exists, a beachhead is superfluous.

Please attempt to come up with a true, non religion based rationale for us to expend political capital on your first nation, Israel.

An open letter on a public forum will get you higher up on the NSA list, the FBI list, the IRS list.

From experience I can tell you, elected representatives do NOT like to be called out in any public fashion over ANY issue. Make a suggestion, ask a question or participate in the only process the people have (City and Town meetings) can and will make you a marked man.

Excellent letter, and please post the response from your House Rep it elicits.

I'm so glad to see that people are thinking for themselves and questioning Obama's actions.

His puppet master, Valerie Jarrett, was born in Iran. She's steering the ship on this.

ok. The letter makes some good points.

Every Jewish person should question and maybe even fear what the Democrat party has become.

Why are we in "an era where massive landings of tens of millions of military are not the norm"? Because people of your ilk take the U.N. seriously? The U.N. is an expensive game of "Risk" at best.

If the NSA is interested in me for that, or any of the other agencies, I would make that a major public scandal.

Michelle Obama isn't POTUS. Nor is she catering to Iran like her POTUS hubby.
