Reasons: 1. Israel 2. Oil 3. American “exceptionalism”/manifest destiny 4. The lack of awareness that the rest of the world is not on board with any of the first three reasons.

I knew I could rely on good old Fareed to never mention Israel or the military industrial complex or evangelicals. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
