After making the middle east WMD-FREE ZONE, you will suggest to have all the countries in the region to completely disarm. Just so thay can fight hand-to-hand, making it more fair for everybody. Right? <g>.
>>>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?
