Steph, Not for nothing, but most of the 10M Mexicans are not here legally.
You are blaming Israel for our geopolitical problems, I think, and that's inappropiate.
We are universally hated not because of Israel but because our elected officials played right into the Islamist's hand. We may have been hated before but this half baked war fiasco, and the administration's arrogant, ignorant foreign policy has increased the hatred exponentially. Infact, the whole world is screaming about Iraq and US policy. This has been going on for quite a while, but the screams are not abating. They're getting louder.
Osama wants to be a superpower. Bush has afforded him the luxury of forging alliances while our global standing tanks. Osama and the Islamist's want us out of the mideast. They want the Jewish state out of Islamic land. They want us isolated. Bush has taken the terrorist movement, adopted unilateral, half-baked policies, and isolated us all by himself. Israel is an excuse. Just as Abu Whomever could care less about Kyoto and global warming, Osama and the Islamic elite don't care about the Palestinians. But the Palestinian plight as well as US policy has played well for Osama's jihadi rally call.
Our policies in the mideast have historically been self interested, and the plight of the Palestinians is rotten. War is war. But rather than cooperation and global coalition, the Bushies have made us the bad guy in the war on terror. It's hard to believe they didn't understand the consequences of their actions. Regardless, we are not safer under the war president. We are so much more vulnerable, but it's our own fault. We mindlessly reelected the regime. We brought the propaganda, and nationalistic bs. Bush's leadership has been a disaster.
To be fair, it's not Israel. It's not France or Germany. We did it to ourselves.
