You don't see all of the fuss? How does doing what that docterine proposes keep us from becoming what we supposedly oppose? Such as, the Nazi's? It's a way for the U.S. to be the world rulers and to step on and prevent any other nation at all to rise above themselves?
That's a pathetic point of view to take.

Ok, I read the Wiki link you provided and what does this have to do with the point of the poster in question?
He said, "We are fighting them because Israel (The Zionists that control Israel that is) wants us to."
This statement has what to do with the Doctrine? I don't see the connection.
The April 16 release was much more circumspect and reaffirmed U.S. commitments to Israel.
"In the Middle East and Persian Gulf, we seek to foster regional stability, deter aggression against our friends and interests in the region, protect U.S. nationals and property, and safeguard our access to international air and seaways and to the region's oil. The United States is committed to the security of Israel and to maintaining the qualitative edge that is critical to Israel's security. Israel's confidence in its security and U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation contribute to the stability of the entire region, as demonstrated once again during the Persian Gulf War.At the same time, our assistance to our Arab friends to defend themselves against aggression also strengthens security throughout the region, including for Israel."

Quoted from the Doctrine itself, the US is forced to protect Israel at all costs, at even the lives of its own countrymen:

Umm.....are you intentionally being disingenuious?
It does NOT say that!!
Please highlight in your quote where is says, "the US is forced to protect Israel at all costs, at even the lives of its own countrymen".
So again, just admit that the posters point that we are protecting Israel because Israel says we must is false. It's obvious that is a ludicrous statement.

"While the U.S. cannot become the world's policeman, by assuming responsibility for righting every wrong, we will retain the preeminent responsibility for addressing selectively those wrongs which threaten not only our interests, but those of our allies or friends, or which could seriously unsettle international relations."
Did you just not read the Doctrine?

Ok, just as I thought, you were being disingenuous as you cannot highlight your claim that quote, "The US is forced to protect Israel" nor can you provide proof for the other poster who said that we are protecting Israel because Israel says we should.
Is this how you normally operate? It's really pathetic. Try being honest for once, then you might be able to make a point.

Did you just skip everything I wrote? Here, I'll quote it again:
"The United States is committed to the security of Israel and to
maintaining the qualitative edge that is critical to Israel's security."
This Doctrine has already been signed and is now known as the "Bush Doctrine."

1. So what religion was Abraham?
2. What was Ismael's race?
What's funny is that I always thought the Arabs came from the Lakhmids, who were Christians. But I guess Abraham didn't know Ismael was Arab and not a Jew, as you put it.
Which is it? Jews and Arabs, or Jews and Muslims?.
Can you show me where it speaks about the Arabs (or even Muslims) in the Bible?
The Canaanites (Philistines) only fought them because the Jewish settlers tried to take their land by force.
Notice that they lived together peacefully in Jeresulam, prior to the Crusades. During the Crusades, both Jew and Muslim were killed to "cleanse" the holy lands.
