You'd be surprised at how corrupt our leadership is. Secretary of defense Lloyd Austin is a former board member of Raytheon. Is that a conflict of interest? What incentive does he have to prevent weapon sales?
I think if we pulled back from Israel and rebuilt our relationships with the middle east countries, there is a path way to peace.
Israel would sabotage us though, because it is not in there best interest to lose our support. Israel has what they call the "Samson option", where if the state is being over run they will deploy nukes to take everyone out with them.
Even Osama bin Laden has stated the middle east beef with the US is to our unconditional support for Israel.
You are willing to at least have a dialogue, so I can respect that. There are a lot of zionists on this site, that believe Israel is always the victim.
