On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
Can the U.S. be an honest broker when it comes to the Middle East?Yes, it can. I like the effectiveness of the way it is being brokered right now. Sit back and do nothing. The Israelis know what to do. Give them time and carte blanche weapons. End of story.
Joe, Atlanta, GeorgiaWho cares, Jack? We all seem like a bunch of busybodies poking our noses everywhere in the world while ignoring problems at home.

Not when we're the majority supplier of Israel's arsenal and refuse to allow for the possibility that Israel may be illegally squatting on someone else's land.
Jared, Houston, TexasHow concerned are you if Iranian officials showed up to watch North Korea's missile tests?
How concerned am I? I should have listened when my crazy aunt told me to keep my money in my mattress. If this purported relationship between Iran and North Korea is, indeed, the case, the whispers of World War III may very well become reality.
Tamara, FloridaConcerned? Who me? When we've done such a good job nation-building and neutralizing terrorists in Iraq, why should anyone be concerned about little old Iran or North Korea? Let's rely on our track record of success and just relax.
Brian, Houston, TexasI'll be concerned when the Iranians are watching North Korea successfully launch a missile. In the meantime, I'm more concerned about Iran developing the bomb and delivering it in person.
Jason, Baldwin, KansasWhat does it mean if conservatives are distancing themselves from President Bush's foreign policy?I voted for President Bush and I support his decision to support Israel, however, I'm not sure he has a policy here. He seems to just want to sit back on his rocking chair while two guys shoot it out in the center of town at high noon.
Michael, Far Hills, New JerseyBush is about as good at foreign policy as he is at answering spontaneous questions at press conferences, and smart Republicans want to get re-elected. The GOP controls both houses and the presidency and still can't get anything done; how sad this country has become. I hope folks remember this at the midterm elections.
Ken, Emporia, KansasThe fact that even conservatives are distancing themselves from Bush's foreign policy demonstrates that even conservatives are capable of recognizing not only the immorality but also the imprudence of waging unjust wars in Iraq and -- by proxy of Israel -- the remainder of the Middle East.
Michelle, Minneapolis, MinnesotaPerhaps they woke up from their six-year coma.
