Bush's Policy Change Angers Palestinians

The timeline is a different issue.
He thumbed his nose at the cease fire agreement for 10+ years.
He had plenty of time to comply, more than enough.
9/11 made things a bit different. Saddam had WMD's, that is a fact.
After he started violating his agreements, we had no way of
knowing if he still had them, built new ones, or whatever,
because he blocked inspections.
9/11 was a wakeup call to what terrorists were willing to do.
The US feared that Saddam, WHO HATES US, and the terrorists
WHO HATE US, would join forces and do something worse than 9/11.
We weren't willing to leave it up to the "word' of a psychopath.
So we enforced the ceasefire agreement from the war we won with Iraq.
The WMDs were not there. But thats irrelevant. We had to make sure.
End of story.
The core issue, however, is, what should foreign
policy, in general terms, be? Involvement or uninvolvement?
The consequences of uninvolvement have already been
proven by WWII. 50 million dead.
Still waiting to hear a rational argument for the other side
from you. So far... nothing but dodges.

just what exactly are those "ideological ties to Israel based on unbreakable political and religious bonds" what % of Americans are jewish? Private donations are fine no problem there but why should US tax payers pay the other billions? Egypt is not getting billions, u exagerrated a little there.
what's with the churchill worship in here? his own people kicked his loony ass out first chance they had. lest we forget, churchill was the prime architect of what turned out to be the cold war, and all the untold horrific consequeneces thereof. without churchill, the US and USSR *make*peace* immediately after the crushing of germany. how much suffering would that have avoided?
whatever good churchill may have arguably done, his net effect on the world was extremely negative. he was a hateful, racist, imperialistic self important politician - nothing more, nothing less.
