#7 Yes, it's nice to know some people are taking Israel's best interests at heart, as the current leadership and I'd guess a sizeable part of the israeli people seem bent on national suicide. So, yes, it's nice to have the USA covering Israel's back, and I think you're very wrong in blaming the wrong direction your country is headed to onto the USA and its influence on you. Just like the "eurocentered" french nationalists and the rabid antiamericans of all stripe, it's a scapegoat; your (and our) troubles are all SELF-CREATED. You should be more self-critical, and lay off the snark against the yanks a bit, too.

#8 It's got to be tough to watch things go to hell in your own country. We'll all get to know the feeling better if The One is annointed.

#9 Thanks, A5089. Gromgoru does blame the U.S. for a lot of Israel's problems that Israel has brought on itself, usually by failing to act decisively.

It's not America's fault that Israel didn't take out Hezb when it had the chance. We kept the UN off their necks for six weeks while they dithered and blew a God-given chance to eliminate those scum. I will be deeply saddened if Israel succumbs to those 7th Century morons attacking it but I'll know exactly where the blame lies and it won't be with the U.S.

#10 Who might this foreign partner be? Who would be nervous about Syria having nukes and not want to say so. Everyone in the area except Iran.
