I know all of the knee jerkers want to read the headline and first paragraph and state "ISRAEL IS GONNA ATTACK IRAN AND THE US IS GONNA LET THEM DO IT!!1!1!!!1"

How about taking a look at what exactly this accomplished. We've got a Senate Resolution - which, for all intents and purposes, means absolutely nothing - saying that the US will support Israel, which is no different than where we were before.

What posting this story accomplished was letting the nut jobs on this website come out in full force with all of their conspiracy theories about Israel, inlcuding the power of those Jews (something someone above has already mentioned). Well done.
