I do not feel that they are solely responsible but they do play a role.

The stated cause of the invasion of Iraq was because it didn't obey the united nations, why should israel not have to. Oh, I forgot, Israel and the united states are allies and consequently can do whatever it likes to whoever it likes.

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.

israel can occupy where ever they want to as long as they can kill enough people to do it and have the united states to back them up. historically they have never been able to do very much on their own.

... Israel, and the United States.

Actually, England gave them the land not America.\n\nI don't know the answer because half of the problems in the Mid East wouldn't be there if America didn't support Israel. Israel doesn't have oil so you would think the US would side with the Arabs..  \n\nIf you listen to all of the Israelis against the Palestinians, they usually have NY accents.\n\nHowever, I am not taking sides with either party because the Arabs treat the Bantu people in Chad and The Sudan badly and come over here with prejudices.

Where in the middle east? Too mush is going on there. There is Iraq, which US is occupying.  There is Palestine, which Israel is occupying.  There is Syria and Iran which are aiding all the insurgents. Pls be specific.

I don't know what that first person above me is talking about, but the problem is Iran and Syria. They are the ones propagating the violence in Iraq AND in Lebanon in order to better suit their own interests, that being to give the US hell to prevent the US from helping Israel in case Iran wants to attack Israel and to use the violence as a way to get the US to talk to Iran and Syria so that the US government can hear their case, that being their agenda in the Middle East. Also, Iran does not want a stable Iraq. Iran and Iraq had a long eight-year war with one another and over a million people were killed. If Iraq was stable and still under Saddam or any stable government, Iran would have a nation to contend with. Iran and Iraq have hated each other for more than two-thousand years, going all the way back to when Persia (modern Iran) conquered Babylon (modern Iraq).\nIt was stupid for us, the United States, to attack Iraq. It would have been in our better interests to leave that country alone, because now that Iraq is in shambles, there is no nation in the Middle East that can be used (besides Israel) to help fight Iran.

Thank you for asking this question. We need the whole world  very aware of this subject. The U.S would bring a lot of support that Israel cannot do on itself. Iran has pretty much everybody else on it;s side. But I know the U.S wouldn't just want to support Israel out of goodwill they would ask for somethig in return, but hey it would totally be worth it cause we all know the U.S rocks at fihgint poor countries :-P. sorry I needed a lil politcal humor in there. \n\nAnywho, I'm nto supportive of any war, it's useless in my opinion but it's never gonna stop happening. It's just the way it is and I quote Vonnegut "So it goes". So yeah! Israel all the way.

This is an unhelpful answer but I agree with Tex. Israel can exist but not at our expense (The USA). I personally think that Palestinians and Jews both are two of the world's biggest troublemakers. Neither are innocent by any means. I am worried for my personal safety and my countries safety because of all this bullsh*t in the middle east. If you are a Muslim or Palestinian I feel bad for you. Your people often suffer too but then are ignored because of the United States affiliation with Israel but it will never give you the right to decide which group stays or goes or promote violence and hate. One of the biggest prayers that could be answered by God to put us a big gigantic step towards world peace is to resolve this conflict between Israel and Palestine but I doubt it ever will until somebody gets blown into smithereens. Its sad, if you are a Muslim I actually have sympathy for you too. Just don't hurt me or my country...please.

Nuclear power is not the issue.  Nuclear bombs are the issue. The president of Iran has said he wants to wipe out Israel, which is fine with me, but I doubt if Israel is going to just sit there and let itself be wiped out.  You can bet that Israel has plans to launch a strike on Iran and you can bet the US has a plan drawn up to invade, which is fine also. But I think that if the US launches an attack it should not necessarily be the same way as in Iraq with the goal of regime change.  The US should simply blow up all Iran's nuclear facilities and leave them totally disintegrated with absolutely nothing left but a big hole in the ground; if this means using nuclear weapons then fine.  Just blow the place up and leave it at that, and let the Iranians deal with the mess.  If they try to rebuild it, blow it up again, and so on forever.  Muslims are a very dangerous threat to mankind and should not be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, because they will come up with all this Allah jihad holy bullshit as justification to use it, which is all a crock of baloney anyway.

It would be very difficult for the U.S. and Israel to accept Iran having nuclear weapons. I give it less than a year because I believe common wisdom is that Iran could have nuclear capability that soon. \n\nWho will be involved?\nUs and Israel mainly, with Bush trying to put together a coalition like he did with limited success for Iraq.\n\nWill this lead the Western world into an endless war with Islam? \nI don't think so, but this is why it's so important to foster democracy in Islamic countries.\n\nHow far off is a war with Iran and Israel, and when will the global community step in and stop the Iranian "president" from dictating us and threatining us with oil?\nThe "global community" won't do anything to stop Iran, in my opinion. They're all afraid of terrorist retaliation. Look at news organizations' reaction to the rioting over the cartoons. They're all afraid to run the cartoons.\n\nIs oil worth the threat of an arms race in the middle east?\nI don't quite understand this question. Are you saying we are somehow responsible for encouraging an arms race because we want middle east oil? An arms race between who and whom?

I think I understand where you are going there.  My timid answer is 'yes'.  You may be sympathetic to the Jewish cause, but know that Israel (back then there was no Israel) is a pawn in the American military that causes more strife than it's supposedly worth.  \nJust know that Israel is located VERY strategically in the middle east, ok.  While we, as modern day Americans, think that Palestinians and Jews should just get along, there are big religious problems there.  We're Americans, we understand that.  Both sides deserve to occupy land they consider to be holy and to live in peace with each other.  The issue is, they consider the same land to be holy for different reasons.  That is why America is there.  Americans revere Jerusalem as Jews do.  So, we pretend that we support them when in actuality we are there to police the middle east.

Isreal is an allay to the U.S.A, its is even more of a state for the united states than another country, if USA make sure that Isreal are powerful enough they are sure that the can contol the middle east, therefore it wont complain about isreal's nuclear power, in fact, USA helps israel's nuclear power become more.\nSince USA doesnt complain about israel's nuclear power all other contries in the world wont even dare to come close to this area in order to protect its realtions with the USA
