Jwhitman- we are supposed to be Nation Builders, but we haven''t been lately... have we?
What you are saying sounds perfectly logical..however days, weeks, months, years of battling rockets, suicide bombers, security checks, kidnappings can take a toll on a nation.
Meanwhile their government are trying to make a peace agreement where the first condition is halt to all attacks and hamas just continues

factsearcher,,,, Middle East Peace & Regional Stability is in America''s intrest --- Constant Conflict & a 100 Year War in Iraq Isn''t

Israel does not always act like they want peace. I wish they would. Sometimes they are at the mercy of their own brand of extremism just look over the last ten years, how it goes from one prime minister to the next. How they change sometimes. Peace in the world would be the most wonderful occurance. I would love to see it in my time. I don''t think I will but I can always hope.

J-Whitman You are right. The Palestinians should have a homeland. We should support democracy as often as we can, whenever we can. Posted by lindaredtail

I''m glad we all 3 agree on that one....
now convince a brainwashed society and fanatic

factsearcher,,, How is it not in our national intrest ??? Aren''t we the Nation Builders ??

America needs it''s credibility back, showing unbiased support for Palestine would be a good starter, & demanding Israel stop with the settlements, open up their highways so people can get access to human needs whould be a beginning

Just as an addition. What angers other countries about our support for Israel is the double-standard. The intelligence about them having nuclear weapons is very strong. We want Iran, North Korea, and other nations inspected by the IEA. Yet when the subject of Israel being inspected comes up before the UN Security Counsel we have consistantly used our veto power to stop it. Why? Posted by lindaredtail

Because Israel wants democracy and peace like us, Great Britain.. similar qualities

The war is not over...so how can it be a failure?...The only way it will be a failure is if all the whiners out there get their way...and pack up their marbles...and go home....This is all about ''resolve'' America. (that''s how we won WW2)...something I fear most fat and lazy Americans know nothing about.

In my opinion, we are bound to support any nation including a Palestinian governed state in the persuit of our national intrests & encouraging democracies. -- Not just Israel Posted by j-whitman

Absolutely! Now the operative word you said was: our national interests...
That is why we don''t support palestinians
