To those that think that the U.S. should pull out of the affairs between Isreal and the Palestinians, I would ask you this: Just how long do you think that the Palestinians would last if Isreal wasn't worried about upsetting the U.S. with their actions? Does anyone really think that Isreal wouldn't wipe them all out in a week? The Palestinians owe more to the U.S. than they think!
As to political correct speech, I invite you all to pick up a copy of "The New Thought Police" by Tammy Bruce, who herself is politically left, but she recognizes the dangers of P.C.ism. Interesting book!
