Re: America's ongoing love for Israel.
IMHO, the basic problem with such discussions is that people on both sides of the fence needs to understand one important fact. This world is not an ideal place and in most situations decisions are not made on the basis of right and wrong or on what is fair or not. In politics there is only one rule and that is what hepls one to increase its one's interest. After that everything is just to gather support. America or any other power at any time in history acts that way.
I can ask simple question why muslims of pakistan are more concerned about Palestinians but not as much about muslims in Burma/Philipines/Somalia. Why no one protest when Saddam was killing Shias and Kurds or Turks kill Kurds. A killed muslim is a killed muslim, isn't it. Does it make difference who killed him. Some causes are just not sexy enough.
By saying all this I didn't mean that I think what Israel/USA are doing in Palestine is right but what I am trying to say here that emphasizing on right or wrong is good for discussions but it won't change any thing.
