yeah I think pan6467 has Taiwan and China a little mixed up. When did the U.S. government start sending money to China?

What Daswig says about Israel being in immediate danger without U.S. aid was true in 1967 but it isn't exactly the reality today. Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is nothing compared to that of Israel and Egypt's army would be paltry without U.S. aid. I think also the muslim world understands that today, unlike 1967, an attack on Israel would mean immediate U.S. retaliation. Just because a country is our ally doesn't mean we need to completely fund their military or support its every political venture. That's not what JFK was talking about.
