Does America want to be ruled by Israeli policy decisions?

Submitted by Gary Anderson (United States), Jun 12, 2012 at 14:35

While I support Israel's right to exist, I do not support risking a world war to do what Israel wants. If Israel wants to defend herself then so be it. But America cannot risk world war or oil destruction in order to fight Israel's wars for her. It all may work out just peachy. Or maybe it won't. Maybe it will be a world disaster.
