Israel and S. Arabia are using us

So why should the United States get all bent out of shape over Iran's nuclear program, which can't possibly touch us, when the two biggest powers in the region, Israel and Saudi Arabia, are ready and able to take care of their "Iran problem" themselves? All they want is America's diplomatic cover. They want us to do all the international jaw-flapping and finger-wagging for them, and then let us take all the heat for them from the UN and NATO, after they've carried out a preventive first strike on Iran. Now that's what I call a lose-win. Gee, thanks, guys.
