In the run-up to the 2008 US presidential elections, The Jerusalem Post Internet Edition JPost.com has invited central presidential contenders to respond to questions on matters of importance to Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
We will be sending out questions to the candidates every two weeks or so. We started out with a relatively general inquiry about the importance they attach to the US's strategic alliance with Israel and how, if elected, they would work to foster that alliance (see below). The questions will get more specific as the campaign heats up.
Question #1What's the importance of Israel as a strategic ally and how would your administration manage ties between the two countries?

Zemule - UK: To me it sounds like comedy. America's economy needs to be aided as well. To render millitary help will cost tax payers money which USA does not have at the moment. If such help will be carried out may not be genuine but shere pomp.
Laura McConkey: Mr. Shoemaker, you are obviously very ignorant of the situation and should keep your comments to yourself. Read your history--Israel has always been subject to the kind of terrorism and ignorant bigotry of people like yourself who fail to understand the facts. Nothing could ever warrant the type of terrorism that Hamas has perpetrated on the Israelis, who are simply trying to live in the land that was given to them in 1948. If you ever take the time to visit Israel, you may (as I did) meet lovely Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian people who live peacefully under Israeli rule.
breeze, usa: we homeschool.
not every American has it mixed up about church and state It was supposed to keep the state out of the church, not keep church out of the school.
But in all honesty, i do not want just anyone to teach my child the Bible, i want it taught God's way and what he wants, not what man's interpretation is and what man's opinion is. So homeschool it is God leads we will follow.
