Two rights make a new dynamicReader comment on item: Will the Middle East Lose Its Importance in Washington? Submitted by Bernie Kessler (United States), Jul 1, 2012 at 22:57 I think you are right and I'm inclined to agree that whatever weight we assign to the oil component will be reduced somewhat during the next decade ---- especially if Israel comes on board as a significant source of oil and natural gas. My chief concern is and will remain Islamism in its slow but steady encroachment on our American institutions, a process supported by the increasing successes the radical element is enjoying in the Middle East and Asia. If this doesn't attract our political attention, nothing will. Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
