Is the U.S. going to have another attack in the immediate future, because of the support of Isreal?

there are alot of countries responsible for what has happened in the middle east. Every western nation has had a hand in dividing up the middle east for either religion or oil. Isreal is only the most recent example. If we gave every country in the middle east the support we give Isreal, that would be a very different region today. \n\nThe cultural divide is the only thing I see that has stopped us. For instance, after 9/11 many groups were advocating that we lock up all muslims in the US in concentration camps because they are muslim. The people of the middle east's reaction to this attitude is what is causing the problems. They hate the way we think of them. \n\nWill there be another attack? probably. Will we hear about it? I hope not, but some politician will probably want to reap the political rewards of making us afraid despite what it would do to this country. Thousands of people die in the US every day. Terrorism is the least likely cause, and our government should recognize that.

I saw somewhere on TV that Israeli military spokesman said that if the UN resolution is broke by Hezbollah,they are ready to attack Hezbollah again...Now I am not really sure how trustworthy this source is,but this is the latest news I've heard...\nMy opinion:Israel already broke this cease fire in the first 24 hours and since then they kept flying over Lebanon...but it seems they can't get over the fact Hezbollah defeated them...I really don't think it would be the best idea to attack again Lebanon with all the UN troops there...\n\nhere is something really interesting:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6133920.stm\nIsrael is ignoring again the UN resolution...

What are my ideas? Quite simple. He is going to be the reason another World War will happen. Already there is war in Iraq. If the Iranian President decides to attack Isreal, Isreal will strike back, causing probably Russia and Chian to attack Isreal, which then the US and Britain will get dragged in to fight Russia, China, and Iran. See since there are so many alliances in the Middle East, just like in World War 2, lighting the wrong fuse will cause a big bang that will escalate to World War 3.

I don't know but it is a possibility.  In the late 1980's the Israeli Air Force flew across Jordanian airspace to blow up the reactor that Saddam was using to create weapons-grade plutonium in Iraq.  In short, the Israelis are poised to anything to survive and we should help them as much as we can.

I think it is very foolish to blindly support Israel. The Arab/Muslim world's voice is ignored, and while this is being done, we will NEVER have world peace. (Here it comes: I am going to be branded a nazi anti-semite.... again, which I am NOT) I am saying: Let's LISTEN to what they have to say. I am not proposing the destruction of Israel, but sadly, Israel is regarded as a bastion of western democracy by some in the west, but as a cancer by most in the Arab/Muslim world, and the ONLY solution is to sit down and LISTEN to EVERYBODY'S view.\nI have had people writing to me pointing out that Egypt is a shining example of the acceptance of Israel in the Middle East;\nwhat a misconception, while they are receiving billions of dollars from the US, they are only paying lipservice to this socalled acceptance. The people in the Middle East allege that the state of Israel was IMPOSED on them, (which is partly true) and this will remain a festering sore in the search for peace in the region. Certain interest groups in the Western world have equated the call for a serious and analytical look a the situation as being 'anti-semitic' (the 'last taboo', as mentioned in the question.) While this 'equation' is heeded by western leaders, terrorism will flourish. Israel is acting like a little boy whose older brother is the strongest in the the school, and by extension, the little brat is going around doing whatever he likes, knowing that his BIG brother will protect him.\nWe should ask ourselves: For how long are we going to allow this situation to continue? Until we are FORCED to sit down and LISTEN, or until we have a war between religions? Is it too much to ask to LISTEN?

No, it can't.\n"Israelis" has done a lot of guiltiest in the "Palestinian" land, including murdering, destroying houses, running out people of their lands, torturing, etc.\nYou know, Israel is only country round the world that "torturing" is legal in their damn laws.\nIf US doesn't support them some independent countries will punish them as well...!\n\nAlso, someone mentioned 6-days war. US was supporting Israel at the time completely, including weapons, satellite maps for destroying Egyptian and Syria Air bases, spying against those Arab coutries during the war and after that, etc.

They will be in a better position to bargain whether they use it or not. It would be pretty stupid to blow up Isreal and stupid people are not planning this.

Yes I care. I think that the violence will continue as long as Israel pretends to be the good guy. I admire the tenacity of the Palestinians they stand up for what they believe to be right and will fight a tank with a rock they believe that strongly. I admire that kind of strength in any human. They could give up and accept defeat but they dont. They are willing to stand up to Israel and the US and not many countries do that. I am sorry about your relatives.

Israel is definitely a flash point in the mideast and a big reason why there is such a reift between the US and most of the Muslim world.   I have no clue why we continue to support them to the extent that we do ---- likley due all the political contributions in the US ---- We let Israel have a secret nuclear weapons cache, but we threaten Iran for the same thing - no wonder we are viewed the way we are.   I am not saying give the land back. but clearly the borders need to be reset and a lot more settlements taken down --- The US policy on Israel has not worked in the US's favor in over 4 decades ---- It really needs to change

I'm a bit uncomfortable about it.  I just don't think we have any real allies in the Mideast outside of Israel we could trust with this.  \n\nFormer president Jimmy Carter, a man for whom I have a great deal of respect, is siding with President Bush on this issue, so perhaps my fears are unfounded.  I find it interesting that there is so much Republican resistance for a president that they have followed so faithfully.

It is more of a burden to the USA\nThink about it.\nEverytime, Israrel makes a mistake and the USA supports it, the USA is in for a bashing.\nNow, the third world countries are fed up with the US administrations's 100% support for Israel when Isreael makes blatant mistakes and crimes against Humanity.\nThe USA was willing and championed the cause of Human Right in the Balkan countries but it cannot do the same with Israel because of distrust of the Middle east countries and Israel bieng its only real trustworthy ally in that region.\nFact is, Iraq was the USA ally and Saddam was the USA's puppet until they (Georgie) pulled him down. \nNow look at the results. \nThe Shias are going to cause havoc there.\nSame  in the PLO.\nFollow Israel blindly and you elect HAMAS\nLOL\nIsn't that a treat.\nThe USA (Georgie) is now threatening HAMAS but he caused HAMAS to be elected. \nLiterally\nIsrael would eventually lead to the downfall of the USA

he will do it one of two ways... either because israel has bombed iran and the US are forced to support... or he will create another 9/11  so every one is in a frenzy and will want him to bomb something... anything...\nwatch this space!

Absolutly.\n\nIran has already said that once they get a nuke they will destory Israel. If you look at the comments from Iran, their goal is not protection but to actully trigger the end of the world... no joke, read up on it. They want to cause a world war that will destroy the earth and bring "Allah" from heaven.\n\nThe rest of the world can not wait till this happens, because if we do nothing then Israel will HAVE to do something, and then we end up in an even bigger war because Israel will be attacked by every other arab nation for attacking Iran.\n\nChina and Russia are just causing trouble as usual because they want that oil money and the techology contracts... just like they did in Iraq.

First off there are threats then they will try to share the\nnuclear technology. then we will bomb them or Israel will. There will be no ground invasion but many bombs!

Doubtful, the most likely aggressor will be the Isaelis. Since Sharon was incapacitated, they've been more or less leaderless since January of this year. Now that they've taken some action to get a new leader, i'm sure they'll be making some kind of decision. The US response most likely will be in defense of the Israelis. \n\nThe only wild card is Pres. Bush, he doesn't have an election to worry about and probably wants to leave a legacy: "the person who had the courage" to make the decision to stop Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon, even if it meant using a tactical nuke on some of the hardened facilities such as the nuclear enrichment plan at Natanz.\n\nPres. Bush's generals appear to have recommended against a military response, and may resign over the whole issue, if the Commander-in-Chief decides to proceed anyway.\n\nA US attack will lead to fearful consequences, but on the other hand, do we let a megolomaniac get control of a nuclear device?  Hard questions to answer.

Everyone, Settle down. Lets say if the us does attack Iran with in the next few months... there will be a few issues to arrise. \n\nHow can we maintain a constant shipment of oil and goods through the persian gulf?\n\nWhat will be the toll of a full scale in vasion on Iran?\n\nWill Isreal play a part?\n\nNow, considering our current locations you have to realize we are surronding Iran. East- Afghan. West- Iraq SW- Persian Gulf (Which contains US Navy Bases) We have an extremely good capability on the assault on Iran because there Ballistic Missile program doesnot hurt the US (It can really successfully target Isreal and european countries. And due to lack of accuracy there missiles can not really successfully target iraqi or afghan US bases though possible) \n\nThe actual use of US Soldiers will most likely be minimal in comparison to the Iraq effort. Most of Iran's time money and effort has gone into three things, Ballistic Missiles, Navy equip and Nuclear engineering. They are still very Third world in other aspects of military life. \n\nNow, as far as China is concerned they have recently tried to deal with russia in regards to oil (very lil US oil comes from Iran) so they can circumvent Iran. Also, China is trying to increase Sino-US relations as far as terrorism is concerned so they will most likely not take any sort of side in this conflict.\n\nRussia, they might be overall neutral but slightly more Bias towards Iran due to the fact they still have deep issues with the US. They might help Iran but the aid would be minimal incase of conflict because they do not want any open-press coverage of something like that.\n\nIsreal- The questions with Isreal's involvement are more less simple but the answers are TBD. Will Iran try to strike Isreal in last effort? Will Syria get involved(with their own goal ie: taking back the homeland) if Isreal does?\nHow will Jordan come into play, or will they not?\n\nSaudi Arbia, UAE, Quatar, Bahrain and Oman- All of these countries success lie with in US/european markets. I whole heartedly beleive they will try to stir some propaganda about this NOT being a religous war so they can gain more money and profits. Thank god for greed.\n\nPakistan- Due to the border relation with Iran will Pakistan be Neutral? They cant go against the US, They are to close of an alie. But If they did non can gurantee India would not attack them and end them for good.\n\nThats all I am gonna cover if you have any other ?'s, as always, Just Ask! : )

If that happens the US will pull all our funding and whatever troops that are under their peacekeeper control.\n\nWithout US support there is NO UN.  \n\nSo they can try.  I would love to get rid of that organization it has done nothing but steal, bad mouth the US and Israel, and waste our money.\n\nWe haven't done anything that we shouldn't have anyway.  Well the Bay of Pigs but that was Kennedy leaving the Cubans out to dry
