"Obama has already managed to alter the rules of the game of the U.S. in the Middle East; everyone, with no exception, is welcome to choose between understandings and sanctions, between carrots and sticks."

The one sure way to defuse a major part of the tension in the Middle East is to see the United States actually for the first time since Bush Sr. actually be an impartial moderator.
That must be scary for Israel. Especially since that back-channel was cut-off. |
