Dr. Pipes Lets the American Politicos Off Too Easy

The caption under the article's companion photo infers more than one might suppose, that "sometimes it matters less what the policy is than who implements it." When we see how the true ally in the Middle East (Israel) is so badly mistreated, these words are not only true, but are a warning.

Continuing on a course that places Israel at the mercy of its malefactors is one that does not bode well for the policymaking miscues that continue out of the American Administration and State Department. Only the specific members who support Israel seem to have an idea where American should be going, that supporting Israel is the only course that is consistent with its Constitutional beginnings.

Seeking to give up any land of the Israeli sovereign territory is a policy making misadventure that if not corrected, will serve only to compromise America's own security issues. Neither of the gentlemen in the companion photograph understood that; neither will Israel understand when America eventually fails to keep a commitment of ensuring her unified sovereignty.
