American Government Isreal?

Now this is just one possibility of what could have happened. There is no backing of this with detail just something i was thinking about the other day. Everyone knows america is in direct affiliation with Isreal giving them weapons money but most important protecting them. Now the question comes up is why stay in the middle east why such a fascination with Iraq, Iran and neighboring Arab countries. If you look at the geography of the middle east you will see we set up a spot in the perfect location to almost corner off palistine. So basically what im saying is we wanted a way into the middle east in order to protect Isreal. Anyone agree of disagree
