But I don't think so. As <A HREF="http://www.gonemild.com/2006/08/why-i-dont-fear-islam.html#comments" REL="nofollow">Dan points out</A>, when it comes to religion, Americans talk a good game but sometimes gloss over the harder parts. <BR/><BR/>At any rate, I could see private support for Israel continuing (especially from private Jewish organizations like Hollywood), but official federal support gradually drying up. <BR/><BR/>In the end, if there's no strategic reason to sink billions into propping up Israel (or the Saudi royal family for that matter), we won't. The masses can be manipulated into supporting whatever actions are needed.FletcherDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870340800475532887noreply@blogger.com
