None of this makes sense. The pro business faction of the conservatives
would just as soon see us cozy up to OPEC and drop Israel like a hot
potato(e).
The evangelicals are hoping to start a holy war in the promised land.
But the problem with this as a 'pro Israel' position is that the Jews
and the Arabs are supposed to kill each other off so the holy lands will
be returned to the 'true believers', i.e. Christians.
