>>Yep, but then the Palestinians have one that lasts for 60 years now and shows no signs of abating - with the trigger happy Israeli government sitting on 150 long ones. I only wish there was one, at least one, American government which would slap hands on _BOTH_ sides and say "get serious about making peace, or else none of you get a single billion until you do", and mean it. Put all of the middle East and all the warring countries in a strict embargo (it doesn't work, but it makes politicians on one side feel better and on the other side get richer ;).

>Obama has given hints that he might take such a stance and the Israel lobby is after him like hellhounds already. At this point they feel it is their entitlement to have the U.S. on their side.

Then they better hope that Obama gets elected. I've heard that the GOP guys are very, very, very keen on revoking all entitlements. In the last few years, I haven't heard them use the word to mean anything positive. It's a bad word.

And Obama was vetted by AIPAC, so he can't do any wrong. Was he also vetted by the Mongolian, Congoan, Argentinian and Tierra y Fuegoan PACs?
