Answer 1

Bar Refaeli

Answer 2

We get tons from Israel. They are a permanent ally in the Mideast, most Israeli technology and military supplies and weapons are American built, so they are supplying jobs in the American economy, and they are a major supporter of the war on terror, because its a war they have been fighting every day since 1948.  

Answer 3

They are a safe landing spot in unfriendly territory.  

We don't have to benefit off nations to help them out.  What has Rwanda done for us?  But they needed us, and we came in, not quick enough, I grant you.

With great power, comes great responsibility.
