It's never a good idea to abandon a good friend, especially when you've been close kin for a long time, and that friend is about to stand up to a bully.
And that, in a nutshell, is why America should think long and hard before possibly making a regrettable mistake - abandoning Israel. Today's bully, as is known, is Iran, which seems bent on obtaining nuclear weapons, and perhaps using them.
The danger signs are all there. Just this week, for example, Iran appears on the verge of sealing a deal to import 1,350 tons of purified uranium ore from former Soviet Kazakhstan, according to the Associated Press.
Last week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected President Obama's indefinite deadline for coming clean on Iran's nuclear program, saying his nation won't comply until the U.S. gets rid of its atomic arsenal.
In November, the United Nation's International Atomic Energy Agency, a "watchdog" organization, asked Iran to explain evidence that suggests Iranian scientists have experimented with advanced nuclear weapons design.
