What chutzpah. Israel inflicted billions of dollars in damage in Lebanon in a war that was planned a year ago, and that which was a disproportionate response to the abduction of the IDF soldiers.

08-18-06 - View of common fears drives US-Israel policy "The president doesn't see any difference between American interests and Israeli interests with regard to the Middle East now," And that is the problem.

The support this lobby garners has endangered America to the detriment of US citizens.
