Jonathan Kay has again gone overboard in trying to discover the root of the American support for Israel. Americans are serious democratic Christians who are therefore supportive of a free and democratic Jewish state. In addition, America, democracy, and freedom are at war with radical Islam, an ideology that is trying to destroy both the U.S. and Israel.Contrary to what Jonathan suggests, the U.S.A is still a uniquely free country. It has not lost its stature as an icon of freedom because of Guantamamo, CIA prisons and the Patriot Act as Jonathan suggests, but has been forced to use these procedures as a way to protect its democracy and freedom. We should be sympathizing with Americans for being forced to act to protect themselves, not criticizing them. Jonathan"s psychological analysis of the American
psyche ridiculous. The root of the problem is not complex. It is self protection.
