Gary, you are correct. The US has a very two-sided attitude in the Middle East. This is why we can, and never will; be able to help peace along there. First of all, Do we honestly care about any of these countries? Realistically, outside of the oil in the Middle East- we don't. We have a large Jewish population here in America, so we prance about talking about wanting peace; but we just want the OIL. It's as simple as that.
Gary, you are also correct in what was said about America helping Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war. Wasn't this the same Saddam that we wanted toppled; and the reason our troops are still in Iraq?
People, this two-sided attitude will never get us anywhere- especially the Middle East. We must choose one view or the other. I agree that we must not allow the Isrealis to be left to the whims of the admitted hatred for them from the Arab nations there; but we must not think we can dictate policy the world over.
