".... As for the ethnic comment, Bush also said, “"the United States will keep its commitment to the security of Israel as a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people."
So why is it that a theocratic non-democratic state is encouraged for Israel, but a similar theocratic non-democratic state in Iran – that does not have nearly the nuclear capacity as Israel – is such a big problem? Perhaps because it is modeled more on what has become of the United States, a near theocratic state where democracy is being eroded in small but rapidly encroaching increments?
Why didn't CNN or FOX run Bush's comments about pledging to use the US to protect Israel as a "Jewish" state?
Oh well, guess they had their hands full running the latest stories about a missing and or kidnapped wife/girlfriend or another blurb about another sports figure. Or the latest antics of the celebrity bimbo of the moment.
Such is the state of American news: Junk food for the brain."
