> The only way the US can stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan is if the Iranians let them, so I suppose the Obama people are probably leaning on the Israelis pretty hard.
Well, I certainly wish somebody would. Historically, of course, the Democrats have been even more complaisant to the Israel lobby than the Republicans. The latter have somewhat closed this gap of late, and who knows, a real tectonic shift may be underway anyhow. We've mooted before whether there's some indication that other elite elements are starting to get tired of the Israel gang.
