Fly Rod;" We should never had stopped the Jews in the six day war. The only reason that it was a six day war is because the US stopped them from conquering the rest of the middle east."

While I agree with much of what you have wriiten previouly, on the above quote I hope you were kidding but as a friend of Isreal I believe they could not have "Conquerd the rest of the Middle East" They could have essentialy destoyed most of the Arab countrys connventional armies,(heck they have had to essentialy do that several times. Lets look at some numbers,these are latest I could find with fast search but give accurate idea of the scope of situation. Isreal: Population APROX. 6 Million. Jewish people despised by most of the following. Saudi Arabia:Population apox. 22 Million, Eygpt : Aprox. 65 Million, Syria around 16 million, Jordan 4 million+, Iraq 35 Million. Lets be realistic. It would just NOT be do able for Israel to occupy an area the size of Middle east unless they change the saying "NEVER AGAIN" to- Lets Do IT TO THEM. Not politically possable, moraly wrong and would destroy our friends the Israelies in short order.I,ll stop there but are about a million other reasons why not.Its not even worth the oil most of those countrys sit on.
