Our main concern was to find weapons of mass destruction in the middle east.

I am not entering into this line of debate with you or with anybody else that is so obviously anti-Isreal. It will be fruitless.

Joe McCarthy was not a looney. I thought he was until I read a book called TREASON. He was correct in his assumptions that the government was full of communist during the 40's and 50's.

kp59583, from what I've read there was a real Communist threat in our country during the 40's and 50's. Did McCarthy condemn the right people 100% of the time, probably not.

I find it interesting that people who live in free (democratic) countries take up the Palestinian/Muslim-Theocratic flag...and are so down on America???

What actions do you expect a democratic superpower to take???

How do you expect Israel to react to terrorism and attacks from surrounding countries???

http://www.historyguy.com/arab_israeli_wars.html

Israeli War of Independence (1948-1949)
Upon independence, Israel was invaded by the armies of six Arab nations: Egypt, Syria, Transjordan (later Jordan), Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. In addition, local Arab Palestinian forces also fought the Jewish Israelis.

The Sinai War (1956) [Also known as the Suez War]
The invasion and temprorary conquest of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula by Israel, while France and Great Britain seized the Suez Canal.

Palestinian-Israeli Conflict (1960-Present)
This includes the Palestinian guerrilla warfare against Israel from the 1960's, original Intifada (1988-1992) and the current "Al-Aqsa" Intifada (2000-Present). See below.
Israel faced guerrilla and terrorist warfare from several Palestinian armies, most of whom united under the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), led by Yassir Arafat. Current fighting involves Israel against more religiously militant groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as against Arafat's Palestinian Authority.

The Six-Day War (1967)
In a rapid pre-emptive attack, Israel crushed the military forces of Egypt, Jordan and Syria and seized large amounts of land from each. Iraq also participated in the fighting on the Arab side.

The War of Attrition (1967-1970)

The Yom Kippur (Ramadan) War (1973)
In a surprise attack launched on the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday (the dates also fell on the Muslim Ramadan holiday), Egypt and Syria attacked Israel. Despite aid from Iraq, the Arab forces failed to defeat Israel.

The Osirak Raid (1981)
An Israeli air attack on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor.

The Israeli Invasion of Lebanon (1982-1984)
In response to repeated guerrilla attacks by the PLO, which were launched from South Lebanon, Israel invaded with the intent of destroying Arafat's forces. Syria, which maintained a large army in Lebanon, fought Israel and suffered an embarrassing defeat.

The Israeli Occupation of South Lebanon (1984-2000)
As they withdrew from most of Lebanon seized in the 1982 invasion, Israel held onto a large part of Southern Lebanon with the aid of the "South Lebanon Army (SLA)," a militia set up and supported by Israel. This occupation was opposed by the PLO and other Palestinian groups as an extension of their long-running conflict with Israel. Also, other militia armies (mostly Lebanese Muslim groups), such as Hezbollah (supported by Iran and Syria), stepped up attacks on the Israeli-occupied region as well as on settlements and military targets in northern Israel. In 2000, Israel withdrew from Lebanon and the SLA disbanded.

The Persian Gulf War (1991)--While Israel took no offensive action in this war, Iraq did launch Scud missiles which struck Israel and almost caused Israel's intervention in the Gulf War.
In an attempt to goad Israel into retaliating, Iraq launched Scud missiles at Israel during the Persian Gulf War. Under pressure from the United States, which sent Patriot missiles to Israel to defend against the Scuds, Israel refrained from launching attacks on Iraq. The Iraqi goal in this was to force Israel into the war, which may have caused the Arab members of the anti-Iraq coalition to quit the war or even switch sides.

The "Al-Aqsa" Intifada
Urban guerrilla/commando war waged between Israel and various Palestinian groups. Between September, 2000 and December 1, 2002: approximately 2,000 Palestinians and 700 Israelis have been killed due to the escalating violence.

I think its because a lot of countries are so jealous of America that they would like to see us get a bloody nose from anybody. Plus now that communisum is out of style people are jumping on the muslim band wagon.
