Odyssues: You just cannot compare the situation in Isreal with the one in the US!!! They totally different. What you are sugesting would mean the US looses one of it's most important ideals. Freedom as a lawabiding Citizen! This is an ideal that is broadcast to the world as something they have and every nation in the world should try to achieve. History tells us that every war or conflicht the US has ever been involved has had freedom for lawabiding citizen in some form of another as a basis.

Americans correct me if I am wrong but did your Forefathers not declare the United States the land of the free - It is a trait that allows the US the postion that it has today - destroy that and you destroy everything the USA stands for. Oh and the bad guys win!!
