The vast majority of Americans and their elected representatives want to
bring their boys home, but stupid Olmert wants to leave them there to bleed.
He still does not understand that although an immediate withdrawal from Iraq
is worrying, the quagmire and the despair are far more dangerous. The great
power deterrent ability is eroding, and what will remain of it in a year or
two when America, having no alternative, will draw and leave behind a
scorched region? Sooner or later America will return to its borders, whereas
we will be staying here, because we have nowhere to go. Israel, which also
pushed four years ago for a war that isn't its own is the one that is now
pushing for its continuation, refusing to realize that Israel itself is the
main victim of the unfinished adventure ,...

      This week Jewish billionaire George Soros joined the chorus, not for the first
      time, writing an article in the New York Review of Books in which he accused
      AIPAC of exerting a damaging influence over American policy.
      ==============================================================================
      The current policy is not even questioned in the United States. While other
      problem areas of the Middle East are freely discussed, criticism of our
      policies toward Israel is very muted indeed. The debate in Israel about Israeli
      policy is much more open and vigorous than in the United States. This is all
      the more remarkable because Palestine is the issue that more than any other
      currently divides the United States from Europe. Some European governments,
      according to reports, would like to end the economic boycott of Hamas once a
      unity government is successfully established. But the US has said it would not.

      One explanation is to be found in the pervasive influence of the American
      Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which strongly affects both the
      Democratic and the Republican parties.[2] AIPAC's mission is to ensure American
      support for Israel but in recent years it has overreached itself. It became
      closely allied with the neocons and was an enthusiastic supporter of the
      invasion of Iraq. It actively lobbied for the confirmation of John Bolton as US
      ambassador to the United Nations. It continues to oppose any dialogue with a
      Palestinian government that includes Hamas. More recently, it was among the
      pressure groups that prevailed upon the Democratic House leadership to drop the
      requirement that the President obtain congressional approval before taking
      military action against Iran. AIPAC under its current leadership has clearly
      exceeded its mission, and far from guaranteeing Israel's existence, has
      endangered it.

        For more than half a century, the U.S. was an honest broker in the Middle East.
        Presidents Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan were warmer to Israel
        and Dwight Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter and George H. W. Bush a bit cooler, but all
        sought a balance. George W. Bush has abandoned that tradition of balance.

        Hard-line Israeli policies have profoundly harmed that country’s long-term
        security by adding vulnerable settlements, radicalizing young Palestinians,
        empowering Hamas and Hezbollah, isolating Israel in the world and nurturing
        another generation of terrorists in Lebanon. The Israeli right’s aggressive
        approach has only hurt Israeli security, just as President Bush’s invasion of
        Iraq ended up harming U.S. interests ,...
