I know it is to try to show "Face" in that America really does care about the little guy but at this point in time I think this is really folly on the part of American politicians...do we even care what anyone thinks after we took our stand in Afghan and Iraq?
I did not even read the article Skybird but I think you know how a majority of American Christians think....they will side with Israel without question.As do I for years I have seen the actions of them and they're neighbors and it is the actions what matter....
Israel did'nt go into Leb and snatch anyone and if that deed is what broke the camels back to them then so be it...they took a stand and I respect it...and I know LOTS of people here do to.

The 35 mil is shut up money so that Isreal can keep doing what it needs to do.
