I have a lot of friends residing in Israel, and no, I'm not Jewish. My point is that most of them are pretty peace loving, nice individuals. I would rather the U.S. work 'with' them, not in their stead. Historically, the U.S. has had good reasons to help Israel, dating back to WW2 obviously. And, I feel that if left alone, by everyone, the 'bad guys' from the Arab nations, as with the U.S. and arab terrorists, that they would leave well enough alone.
But to blame everything on the Palestinians, or Hezbollah, or even Iran, is just wrong too. Diplomacy can work, not saying it Will work, but it can. Just need to keep the Genie in the bottle a while longer. I hope we can.
And, Iran is a much bigger foe that Iraq ever was or even could be, nuclear weapons or not. They are richer and better protected. So, could we still 'kick the crap out of them?' sure, but, using Iraq as an example, how would we benefit? It would cost us a lot more than Iraq and Afghanistan combines, and then we would have to rebuild another country, again.
I hope we can keep the lid on this, without going to war.
