Same war? What world do you live in? Last I checked the US was in a real war where tens of thousands of troops have died and been injured. This little conflict in Israel/Lebanon is like two little annoying kids fighting. The problem is that it is my tax dollar paying for it. These crazy backwards religious groups and countries have been fighting for thousands of years.

Israel in not on OUR side. Israel is on Israel's side. They are a strategic liability to the United States. All we need from the Middle East is oil and they have none. I think they should defend themselves and do whatever they have to do, but not with my tax dollar. If they weren't such wimps they would have dealt with this problem long ago with their own money. There are plenty of americans that are poor and plenty of other needs our country has than giving billions to all of these backwards Middle Eastern countries, of which Israel is one. All these countries in the Middle East live in the Stone Age. No rational human being can believe the religious garbage that comes out of orthodox religious people, which are the types that run these countries. How can you take a country seriously that shuts down one day a week? The symbol of their country is a religious symbol. No country that wants to be taken seriously can have that. The only thing Israel has going for it is that it is not nearly as backwards as the religious nutjobs that surround it.

I think people like you need to ask yourself if you first allegiance is to America or another country. This dual citizenship garbage is nonsense.
