Conclusion to the Pop Quiz

Which countries in the Middle East have attacked U.S. ships in international waters?
Iraq and Israel. A lone Iraqi plane fired one missile at a U.S. ship by mistake. The Iraqi government quickly compensated the U.S. In 1967, Israeli airplanes and torpedo boats attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 Americans. The U.S. government declared it an accident even before the ship limped into port, and to this day Congress has never held a public hearing and allowed the survivors to tell their story. Their story, by the way, is that the attack was deliberate. Israel compensated the families of those who were killed, but resisted for years paying compensation for the ship.I am no tea baggier but this is a good idea. I don't hear of Israel fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan. Did they help us in Vietnam or Koriea? It is time for the Israeli people to stand on there own or start paying US taxes and become a state. I know that they are the most persecuted people is history. But we have our own problems right now. If they want there own country them let them pay for it.Israel stays out of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan because USA tells them not to get involved. USA doesn't want to piss off and lose key allies like Saudi Arabia who would bail on USA if Israel joined in on the conflict.
