Hate to tell you this, but we never asked to be an "honest broker". Bush wanted to stay completely out of this and he succeeded until the Arab leaders pushed him into sending Powell.

Not "noble warriors" fighting for independence, they are murderers and thugs.
Who cares what the world thinks of us or what they think of Israel. They all hate Americans anyway (until they need their sorry butts bailed out, then suddenly they "love" us).
