Silk purse
Reader comment on item: The Solace of Poor U.S.-Israel Relations
Submitted by gfmucci (United States), Apr 25, 2010 at 21:44
You effectively made a silk purse out of a sows ear. But I don't quite understand the converse. Do you mean to say we should not wish good relations between the US and Israel via a pro-Israel US administration e.g. a Mitt Romney presidency) because bad Israel mistakes will ensue?
