good riddance. Often called Israel’s favorite senator, McCain can always be depended upon to support Istaeli wars.
what is amazing to me about the america/israel relationship is how a tiny little terrorist nation has, through its hordes within her borders, been able to force america and its politicians to their knees. maybe one day america can wake up from this nightmare and change our foreign policy to reflect what is in our interest in the middle east.
