well they still haven't found any WMDs, so there goes the whole legal basis for the war. so what is your point exactly? furthermore, are you saying that because there are no resolutions that directly correspond to ones imposed on iraq, israel does not have to obey them?
and remember, you did complain about france threatening to use its veto power. why is it that france shouldn't use it in the case of iraq, but the united states can abuse it in the case of israel?
now i've never said israel is a nazi state (although they sure seem to have adopted some rather fascist policies) and i don't think that america is in the hands of zionists, but i do think there is an unfair bias in favor of israel. hello? have you forgotten that we're supposed to be neutral yet continue to supply israel with arms? palestinian terrorism, as i've said before, is tragic and unfortunate, but i can see why they'd see it as a last resort considering what they're up against.

well that's something at least. can you now explain to me why our government seems to fully approve of turkey and is only now saying that we didn't want their help anyway (after actively seeking it)?
