He just doesn't feel there is any need to support Israel, and does not consider actions taken on behalf of Israel to be in the US' actions, especially if it uses valuable resources that can be used directly for the US itself. It may be a very self-serving, Americentric viewpoint - we dun need no stinkin foreigners, Jews, Arabs, Chinese, Koreans, Indians, or otherwise, but it is not Nazi. I can pretty much bet he'll hold the same view on Europe, India, Taiwan, Korea, and China. Would we say he is anti all these people?<br /><br />I find it more difficult to articulate WiO, Doug's stance. They probably believe that Israel's interests are intimately tied to the US, and that anything that affects Israel will eventually result in adverse consequences for the US. Add to that the moral imperative to stand together as an united pan-Western civilization, and there is, in their eyes, every reason to support Israel, Taiwan, Korea, and the various initiatives the US is involved in.<br /><br />Personally, I have to agree with WiO and Doug, since my own country exists partly on the largess of the US Pacific Fleet. If not the US, then we'll have no choice but to pitch to China and India to balance our national interests. I can see the persuasiveness of Rat's argument tho.The Wobbly Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301556031735052090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-72947953675392615492010-03-30T13:17:11.451-04:002010-03-30T13:17:11.451-04:00"But hate, none of the three rouges are worth..."But hate, none of the three rouges are worthy of hate, just disdain."<br /><br />want to prove rambo rat a liar? simply ask him which of those 3 countries he would chose to live in should he have to. anyone that brags about their patriotism is compensating for something usually, but here is a pat on the back because that's what he must be looking for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-88646412192920995222010-03-30T06:54:46.041-04:002010-03-30T06:54:46.041-04:00As for my hating Israel, as man of "misdirect...As for my hating Israel, as man of "misdirection" claims ...<br /><br />Why nothing could be further from the truth.
