If politics and foreign relations weren't grounded in practicality we'd have little use for them. There's nothing wrong with reciprocity. Pretty much forms the basis of -any- relationship.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Korea then, staying pretty much to themselves? ![[Image: 10314461_875206779161622_3907189760171701548_n.jpg]](https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10314461_875206779161622_3907189760171701548_n.jpg)

It does however, allow the fuel industry invested by all three religions to be a distraction. I don't think the fighting is over religious reasons. I think it's fought over control of the land. 
And control of the land is control of the resources. This is much bigger than Israel.
 
Cato,
The graph is showing $30.2 Billion given by the United States. The graph is showing a possible economic reasons for assistance for others.

My point in sharing the graph was to demonstrate to P'slice that his anti-American sentiment will have to be aimed at other industrialized nations as well.
More money for Israel, but it's not that simple. Some of it comes back here and improves our missile defense.
