Careful, you're true colors are coming through. So you blame Israel for "Middle East wars".

No. I blame American presidents for involving the U.S. in them.

Did Israel make Saddam invade Kuwait? You imply that our support for Israel "caused" 9/11. Now you're a justifier of terrorism too.

I didn't say it was justification. If I step on your toe and you sock me in the eye, you might have something you hold up as a cause or reason for your action (my having stepped on your toe), but that doesn't justify your action. The U.S. was attacked on 9/11 for the same reason it was attacked by AQ throughout the 90's. Funneling U.S. tax dollars to Israel (we get absolutely zero credit for the billions funnelled to the despot in Egypt) and U.S. troops on Saudi soil.

If we'd only let the Islamists take over Israel & Kashmir & Europe, then the Islamists wouldn't have any gripe with us?

Newsflash - Israel has nukes, India has nukes, and European states have nukes. Why do you think Americans must be bled and taxed to defend them?

And you dare claim to love America?

Yes. If I lived in Europe I'd fight for it, if I lived in Israel I'd fight for it, if I lived in India, I'd fight for it - I wouldn't expect the Americans to do my fighting. You still haven't told me what we've purchased with the thousands of American lives and billions of American tax dollars poured into the Middle East.

If you believe that the Islamists are reacting to our policies then you're as dangerous to this country as the dems. They attack us because they want to take over the world. Too often I hear people that want to co-opt the terrorist's agenda; "the terrorists attack because of... lack of socialism, support for Israel, etc" You are the western fuel that terrorists need to justify their actions. You're more responsible for 9/11 than Israel or our support of it. The terrrorists need people in the West with your attitude of justification and rationalization.

Newsflash - Israel has nukes, India has nukes, and European states have nukes. Why do you think Americans must be bled and taxed to defend them?

Um, Earth to Gunslinger: we're not sending money to Israel to "defend them". We're sending money there to restrain them.

Do you really want Israel to mop up the Middle East it's way?

Think about that for a while before blurting out a reply.

By the way, what's your sentiments on that Iranian passenger plane that our warship blew out of the sky?
