Instead of an unbiased assessment of right and wrong, here, instead, we have the pro-Israel lobby flexing its muscles.
thats a purdy naive statement, dave-o.

were the situation patently obvious, it would've been solved.

there's been fighting in that region since before there was a 'united states' -- i dont think it could be solved by a simple judge judy trial (and she's the boss, apple sauce!).

its simply rediculously complicated.

i'm not saying that we're currently (or have ever) made the right or most-benevolent moves in the situation. im sure there's always some form of political campaigning and all that other two-faced stuff.

but i am saying its not as simple as saying "the lakers won the nba championship game, they're the better team." its not cut and dry -- its cut and cut.

(and btw, david... when you quote someone else's post, you can go into their part and delete some of the words -- so you're not quoting their ENTIRE argument, just a section -- that'll greatly reduce the length of your replies).
