We should just continue to be good allies with those who have shown they are friendly toward us. What have have given up doing under the current muslim favorable administration under Obam is to come down hard on those who violate trusts, agreements or intents that would result in harm to USA presence there or our friends in the area.

I remember the good old days when someone in the area did anything that violated Israel's presence, there was a military strike the next day to rid the area of the aggressor. In those days Israel had a line drawn in the sand and if one crossed it, it was a known fact there would be retaliation.

Fast forward to today.....even Israel has joined the let's wait and see crowd. While we hold first place for doing anything against anybody who crosses the line, beheads our people, massacres women and children, threaten to kill us all........we now are feared by no one in the middle east. The protagonists all know there will only be a plethora of words from Obam and if it involves a muslim action he most likely will defend their positin while apologizing for the actions of the USA.
