Hell, there were 50 more Armenians in the Iraq coalition than Israelis.

STS with all due respect that would have been insane political suicide. You have to remember Iraq actually fired Scud missles into Israel to draw them into the war to get the rest of the Arab world behind them. What did we tell the Israeli's ? Bite your tongue and dont fight back. And you know what the Israelis did... All got their gas masks on because no one knew for sure what the Scuds were carrying. And sat there and took it.

I dare anyone to present a situation in which a country purposely fires missles into the US without our even being in the conflict and see how long we bite our tongues... For God sake there is no way we would show the restraint Israel has.
