Forget morality then, for argument sake. Our security needs can easily be met by Europe. We don't need Israel. In the long run allying ourselves with a nation that has shown the international commuity nothing but contempt for UN law is not in our interests. Eventually the US will ask us to choose between the Arabs and Israel and the US itself. If we do, then our relations with Europe and China will hit an all time low since the latter 2 are quite aware of the US plan to colonise the middle east, thru with spreading its hegemony over the world will be a relitively elementary matter.
