Not the Right Answers to Middle East Question

Quote:
And all the candidates could say was that the war in Iraq was fought to help protect Israel, that Israel had every right to retaliate against terrorism in any manner it deemed appropriate and that Mr. Arafat had to go.

Israel is to the United States what Soviet Union was once to most of the Communist countries. Like the Soviet Union, Israel can´t be critized and all of it´s actions must be praised. Bush, Cheney, Edwards and Kerry would have been good leaders of any vassal state of the Soviet Union with these credentials. They would have praised the glories of the occupation of Hungary and Czechoslovakia and the invasion of Afghanistan as least as well as any real Communist leader, with straight face and voice full of passion.
