As an American myself, I’ve asked several people this question. No one seems to know why either. Is it strategic position in the world? I don’t think they have anything the US can exploit besides that really. Am I missing something? Political arguing aside what exactly is the motivation? Thanks for any explanations.
evangelicals and jews in the USA are far more political active though than the majority of the citizenry. there interests are over-represented in government, esp at the federal level.
especially evident by the power of their lobbying groups over members of congress.
