>>>Why do you believe that statement?<<<


I don't have to read that statement to conclude that america has been meddling in middle eastern affairs forever and always on behalf of Israel no matter what their intentions.

Bush invaded Iraq at least in part due to ONE single violation of a UN resolution. Meanwhile, Israel has more UN resolution violations than any other country on earth and is rewarded with more economic and military american aid than any other country on earth. But you see no possible connection between these disparities and muslim hostility and simply label it "manufactured discontent" courtesy US bloggers and journalists?



"The most extensive violator of UN Security Council resolutions is Israel, by far the largest recipient of U.S. military and economic aid. Israel's refusal to respond positively to the formal acceptance last March by the Arab League to the land for peace formula put forward in UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 arguably puts Israel in violation of these resolutions, long seen as the basis for Middle East peace. There can be no argument, however, that Israel remains in defiance of a series of other UN Security Council resolutions. These include resolutions 262 and 267 that demand Israel rescind its annexation of greater East Jerusalem, as well as the more than dozen other resolutions demanding Israel cease its violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention, such as deportations, demolitions of homes, collective punishment, and seizure of private property.

Unlike some of the hypocritical and mean-spirited anti-Israel resolutions passed by the UN General Assembly, such as the now-rescinded 1975 resolution equating Zionism and racism, these Security Council resolutions challenging Israeli policies have been well-grounded in international law."

>>>So what are the Liberals and the media doing when they spread the idea that "America is the bad guy" which you seem to believe.<<<


US troops, we are told, are in Iraq to defend our way of life, our freedom and our heritage. Allowing dissent including criticism of foreign policy is a big part of all that but you seem to have a problem with it....? If you have children that you love, does criticism when they stray mean you think they are bad to the bone?
