As long as you don't suggest we steal from our own people to give the Israeli military $4B worth of F-16s a year that would be fine.Does that include selling them F-16s or do you mean only commercial goods?We should trade freely with Israel. Beyond that we shouldn't be involved.So, I guess my question is, do you, JV, think as part of the withdrawal from Middle Eastern affairs the U.S. should abandon any involvement with Israel? Or to what extent should the U.S., if any, be involved with Israel?
About as much as the French owed us 70 years after the American Revolution. None.What responsibility, if any, do you think we have towards Israel since we were instrumental in forming the state of Israel post WWII?

Apparently you, like al Qaeda, have the same definition of an occupying force - the mere presence of a single foreign troop in a foreign land. We did NOT "occupy" Saudi Arabia. We were NOT an invading force.In the early days of Qaeda, >90% of members were from countries occupied by the US (even though their major bases of operations were in countries not occupied by the US - ie they had a hard time recruiting locally). Qaeda numbers have swelled but the percentage of members coming from countries without an occupying US force has remained very stable.

Oh, so now it's limited to attackers from the Middle East? Because that limitation isn't in your original assertion. This is why I keep asking you to pin down what your statement is, because every time inconvenient facts get in the way, you revise and claim you were right from the outset, which you have not been.The previous statistic citing the lack of any attack on the US by anyone from the ME prior to US intervention beginning in the 1940s still stands.
