73. we should all fight for that of course

but I think the reality is that if Isreal never existed ALL of their US foreign policy aid money would have gone to whatever secular, democratic, "Westernized" country was next in line, probably Turkey or even (ironically) Lebannon.

The US has been desperate for a foothold in the Middle East for the past 50 years. Believe me, if it wasn't Israel it'd be somebody else. The military machine would demand it.
