[lbo-talk] Up the maypole

Is there a 'left' position with regard to the middle east vis a vis 
energy policy/israel policy in terms of chicken/egg? Does the existence 
of USG israel policy result from USG energy policy? Totally separate 
and coincidental?

It seems such a basic issue that I think there should be a consensus of 
belief, but I don't get a sense of what it is.
