Isreal is a sovereign nation. And, right now, Palestine is part of Isreal. On top of that is the outrage that would occur here at home as all the American jews would start screaming about the US invading Isreal. Politicians are terrified at the idea of losing the jewish vote or having public opinion turn against them after a couple million jews fill the plaze in front of the Lincoln Memorial for a protest.

And who can blame them. How many Irish or English would have welcomed a US invasion of Ireland 20 years ago when the IRA was bombing London twice a week? How grateful were the Somalians when we tried to save them from mass starvation at the hands of warlords? (yeah, saw Blackhawk Down last week)

Until Isreal invites us in or there is some kind of unanymous vote by the entire United Nations, our politicians simply aren't going to put there careers on the line like that no matter how many people get killed.

And, Isreal's got nukes. And there "unofficial" policy has always been they'll nuke the entire Middle East before they let ANYONE take Isreal away from them. And the US treating them like Bosnia/Serbia sure would be taking power away from them.
