What we get is ... the satisfaction of knowing that we've lived up to our American principles ... of defending freedom from tyranny. That may seem less important to you than having gas for your Yugo ... but to people who understand the importance firm principles play in determining the destiny of nations ... it's really much more important than the price of oil.

I love the "satisfaction of knowing that we've lived up to our American principles", is that from a hallmark card?

American principles are doing what is best for america. So I guess giving millions to Sadaam Hussein years ago and propping up dictators like those in Saudi Arabia is living up to american principles?

You might be the most delusional person on earth. Who taught you this nonsense, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh? Learn to think for yourself.

You keep failing to answer why they need my tax dollar. Is Israel short on cash or would they just prefer to raise my taxes instead of their own?
