Where did you get your $80 billion crap from? Don't forget that the Islamist world would still be in the dark ages without the billions of pertrodollars that America has poured into the Islamist countries.

Wow talk about the Pot calling the Kettle Black...Hamas Prisoners should be tried or realeased? Perhaps Olmert should mention Gitmo or the CIA prisons around the world. If this guy is truly the mouth piece of Washington he needs to learn the script better. You can not ask others to stop doing what you do yourself.

If Isarel attacks the iranian nuclear program while America remains iddle, the US won't be considered anymore as a relevant power in the Middle-East and in lots of others areas.

First of all, who the hell is this unidentified State Department flunky? There are American diplomats who are such sycophants when there's an issue involving the Arab countries they've been serving in, they'll even put the interests of those countries ahead of those of the U.S. In fact, a lot of Americans would be shocked at the way some of these ambassadors become nothing more than mouthpieces for despotic Arab regimes

American's stand behind Israel, especially the evangelicals like myself. This article is valueless as much as the so called invisible US official. It must have been Sen. Kerry making more of his remarks or an ally of his. The fact that Dems. have taken the house will have no affect on the unity of the people of America to defeat terrorism and to support Israel. I want to tell my Israeli friends that American's expect Israel to defend itself the way America has done after 911. The election results in no way will change the commitment American's towards the defeat of terrorism and support for Israel.

For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath. Deuteronomy 4:31 ...God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid..." Hebrews 13:5-7 http://need-messiah.blogspot.com/2006/09/blog-post.html

Many Republicans are Christian and want US Christian votes US Christians vote Israel! http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/bop/index.html

funny you should be too concerened about israel returning the money the usa gave it for security. we israelis used this money not only for the army but for progress in every fascet of life. look at our country!!!! it is indeed the most progressive, educated, highly sophisticated and democratic considering we are only 59 years old. on the other hand, you iranians and most arab countries have not steped out of the dark agaes for over thousands of years no matter the billions of usa dollars poured ibnto your own countries. you are still backwards, miserable and opressed people who are mostly poor, uneducated and religiously fanatic, hateful and combatant to the core. you can't get along with anyone different than yourself and have in your mindset a severe intollerance of anyone who doesn't believe in muhammad. yes, you spend all this money on aquiring more bombs to "defend" yourselves against any imaginary force against your beloved islam, but will never use it to move from your caves to a more advanced surrounding.

That is exactly where the US is leading Israel. Part of it will be disarmament...of the whole region...including Israel. NIce little land of unwalled villages.

Yah your so smart thats why you picked to put your country where no one wants you and where people were already living. And iranians arent dumb. Shariff (engineering school in iran) Is the best engineering school in the World. (ask the dean at stanford he will tell you) the reason these countries are behind is because of 1 corruption, 2 wars on their lands, 3 retarded governments not because the people are dumb or poor.
