A famous saying goes ," War makes strange bedfellows". How wonderfully strange and welcome would be the US having a NEUTRAL Middle East policy regarding those ancient wars. This week brought a remark by Iran's new president. He said, " Israel should be wiped off the map". On August 13, 2005 Pres. Bush spoke on Israeli TV regarding Iran's nuclear program. He said " All options [ US nuclear first strike against Iran] are on the table". So one threat leads to another threat which leads to another...etc. Whats in it for America?
Peace will come to the region when Israel's influence reflects it's population size and they allow the creation of a Palestinian state.Now they are leveraging US wealth and strength to underwrite their questionable creation. America's brat needs to be stripped of it's nuclear arsenal so there will be a nuclear free zone .
Looming problem for Israel is its negative population growth. This started in 2004 and has increased. Hence the pullout of Gaza was a direct result of this thinning population. Israel has even resorted to allowing more Ethiopian Jews to immigrate. If the population decline continues, Israel might get desperate. Desperation plus 200 nuclear warheads is a dangerous combination.
