salam Curious,
come on, u seem more logical than this. you know very well that the US didnt fight with kuwait because of this ally issue. I was in the US at that time and watching CNN. Lary King was able to take a committment out of the Kuwaiti ambassador at the time that his country will certainly pay the bill. The question was will you pay the bill if we intervene? he said yes certainly.
The US didnt go there for free or just to support an ally, but rather to sell more weapones, receive the bill and establish a base.
As for Israel they will not only fight for free but also support it financially and in kind. Much difference. but thank u for helping me change my perception regarding the US public. :)
