Senator Lieberman: Come to Your Senses About Iraq

[Purveyor]

In the great policy discussions in Washington, I've learned, there are opponents on the one side, and on the other, there are allies, and friends, and then, there is family.

For me and many others, AIPAC is family—united in our shared history, our shared values, and our shared vision for the future. As family, we can talk frankly with each other, and that is what I would like to do with you today.

The fact is we can't afford anything less than honesty at a time like this—a time when, as citizens of America and supporters of Israel, we confront grave and growing dangers to the nations we care so much about.

The threats I am referring to are directed not just against the security of our societies, but against the values that define who we are and who we hope to be.

They are threats to the universal principles of freedom, of democracy, of the rule of law—threats to the fundamental human rights that we believe are not just cherished by, but endowed to everyone on earth.

1. AIPAC is not MY history nor my family

When shall we begin allowing our government to protect, hugely fund and treat with kid gloves... Albania or the Country of Georgia? How about Kazahkstan? I don't owe anything to Israel over any other country.

2. I think the point is WHERE this article is posted....

It is very much at variance with the rest of the articles at that site.

3. Everyone in Israel does not agree with AIPAC...

however, our media would have us believe that AIPAC reprents everyone in Israel. There are plenty of progressives in Israel who think as we do.

4. Once again Lieberman puts Israel first

Our presence in Iraq is fueling terrorism, not decreasing it.

Until the Israel/Palestinian issue is resolved in an equitable manner, there will be no peace in the Middle East.
