SOTT: The author makes many good points about the detrimental consequences of America's blind support of Israel. He misses the big one though. This is not a "religious war". The conflict is fomented for control of resources, strategic territory and increasing the hegemony of the U.S. over more and more of Central Asia. Religion is just part of the window dressing for the home crowd.

AIPAC makes no pretense of doing things meant to benefit America; rather, its members take pride in seeking a goal that runs directly counter to the economic welfare and physical security of almost all other U.S citizens by seeking to keep them involved in a religious war in which no U.S. national interest is at stake.

Why should American taxpayers have their earnings and children's lives spent to defend a theocracy in Israel or, for that matter, to protect an Islamic theocracy in Saudi Arabia.?
