>>To be fair, it is not JUST about the UN resolutions - any or all of them. If that were the case, we would have done something about Israel long ago. Instead, since Israel is not a threat to U.S. National Security (this is a big issue with Iraq, not JUST the resolutions) we not only allow them (as does the UN and everyone except the Palestines) to ignore UN resolutions, but we fund them.

Yes they are, as TracyH herself said! Israel is not viewed as a "threat" to the U.S. All it does is suck in US$$$$, and you both win!

Do you know why it was that the U.S. didn't like the idea of a middle east WMD-FREE ZONE?... because then Israel would have to give up its WMD! And you wonder why Arab countries see a double-standard?
