Why the United States Supports the State of Israel

For a long time, I have been wondering what it is that has the US supporting Israel for everything that it does. It never made sense to me that one country will support everything that another country does and has even stated it is against anyone who is against Israel. Growing up in India, we were always taught that it was the Jewish dominance in American bureaucracy that has this thinking running. Turns out, it all boils down to one simple reason -- OIL.

The problem with oil is that we are all so dependent on in it. In time, we have become so addicted to it, the investment required to change to a system that does not run on oil is so massive, that no country in the world can afford it. It's probably cheaper to wage wars against countries to protect their oil interests than convert.

On a side note: Notice how there are people in this world, who think so much? I was browsing PINR.com , and found geo-politics to be very fascinating. I was amazed as to how, the tiniest of incidents can cause a butterfly effect. Isn't information liberating?
