It's not silly to avoid support from groups whose interests are not primarily for the interests of the US! Getting support from AIPAC or any other group comes with a price. If the price of AIPAC approval is agreeing with the neocon fantasy of a revamped middle-east then Obama and any other anti-neocon should not only avoid but should condemn them.
It sickens me that our military men and women have been abused by such groups (AIPAC) and people (neocon politicians and pundits). I am positive that a poll of US servicemen and women would show that more than 99% of them did not volunteer to fight for Israel's security.
