I do not believe with the current president that we will go to war with Iran, even though they show no regard to the international community. We need to take care of Afghanistan first and then just be ready in case Iran steps up and forces our hand into action. Right now our military is spread to thin and starting somewhere else would just leave us vulnerable at home. I do believe that Iran will do something to Isreal but we can not be the main player in stopping this, the world finally needs to help police and not rely on us for everyhting.
You mean like the US does? As I recall, the international community was more or less unanimously against invading Iraq, and we did it anyway. We all know how that turned out.
FYI, I have never ascribed to the theory that Israel has a right to Palistine because they were there 2000 years ago. But then again, Might has always made right in the middle east.
Right.
And by the same token, Palestinians have no right to land they claim they possessed thousands of years ago.
Everybody goes back to a point in time that is beneficial to them personally, and claiming that is THE point in history we MUST abide by.
Oh garbage.
How's that working for the Native Americans?
The country of my ancestors doesn't exist any more - does that mean we can all go back and have land.
Look at maps from the last several decades, not even centuries and you will see that countries and borders change.
You're really not as naive as you're presenting.
In 1948, land was stolen from the middle eastern countries for Israel. Israel had no claim until that time
WHICH Native Americans? The ones who were there when the White Man decided to take the land? Or the Native Americans that had recently been run off that same land?
And by the way, I'm not naive at all. I'm simply blowing holes in your terrorist-supporting ideology. Why do you keep going back to 1948 - other than the fact that that date suits YOU? Why not go back farther than that?
The fact is, you are pointing to a point in history YOU like. Too bad that's a totally fallacious and inane practice.

Problem with your assesment is that nobody from 2000 years ago is alive today. Whereas there are many palistinians alive who remember the state of palistine in 1947.
What does this have to do with you, number 1; number 2, they're not the only ones.
You're grasping at straws here.
LOL! I'm grasping at straws?
YOU are blindly supporting idiot, savage terrorists who intentionally and relentlessly try to kill civilians! Then you claim some moral high ground. How cute.

I understand that, but it's irrelevant. By that token, can we just wait until those people die off, and everything is fine?
Who gets to arbitrarily decide what point in history we return to? You? Me?
Garbage.
Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 terrorists.
Most were from Saudi, but the Saud's are US puppets and Bush family friends.
Get your facts straight.
Bin Laden picked Saudis to carry out the 9/11 attacks because he thought the US reaction would be to blame the Saudi Arabian government, much as you have done, and cause the US to invade Saudi Arabia, also known as the land of the two holy places, Mecca and Medina, thereby touching a global war between the US and Islam. Now, if you thought Iraq was a difficult war, I can assure you that a war against the dozens of countries (and 1 billion people) that comprise Islam would have been a much more difficult endeavor. There are plenty of Muslims who dislike America. It was bin Laden who channeled that dislike, shaped it into a burning hatred, organized the financing and provided both the training and weaponry to carry out the series of jihadist attacks that started with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Well obviously the ones with the best weapons and most might. That doesn't make it just or right. Exactly the reason the palistinians won't give up. They believe in what they are doing because they perceive a injustice has been done to them. Why should they give a rat's ass over some european jews coming along to take their country away from them, based on some book they probably never read?

Good points rarely heard. Bin Laden also picked Saudis because their government funnels money to radical Islamic mosques, creating an angry and indoctrinated class of citizen. We did the opposite of invade Saudi Arabia--both before and after 9/11, Saudi citizens were given privileged positions when applying for US visas, American law enforcement was not allowed to interview suspected terrorists (including 4 Saudis executed for the Khobar Towers bombing--some organizations allege the Saudi government picked undesirable political actors, but since the FBI was never allowed to talk to them, we'll never know). And we sure don't need to sell them our jets and missiles--it's only a matter of time before we find those things pointing back at us.
