a: "The structural symbiosis between American imperialism and Israel hegemony in the Middle East do not admit any change." *sigh* CENTCOM is now nine years into a long war, and it ain't winning. Part of the reason it ain't winning is because it needs the support of the Arab countries, and they are not willing to give that support while America remains content to be the glove puppet of Israel. Petraeus is busy pointing that out to anyone who will listen within the corridors of power in Washington. So America has a choice: it can keep limping along in a war it can not win, or it can do what it has to do to gain the support it NEEDS if it is to win that war. And the only way it can get that support is to stop being Israel's glove puppet. USA self-interest will eventually win out, arik, even if you refuse to recognize that the wind is already starting to shift around you. Even ol' Abe Foxman can feel it blowing. What's your excuse?
