Mearsheimer and Walt have to be applauded for taking on AIPAC. If the US
had a neutral foreign policy in the Middle East, we would not be in Iraq
today. You can view the Arab view of the $3 billion in US foreign aid we
gave Israel here: http://www.miftah.org/Display.cfm?DocId=753&CategoryId=4
It seems we have created a smaller uglier versions of ourself in the
Middle East with Israel. Jimmy Carter has commented on inability of
Israel to negotiate with its Arab neighbors and so have Mearsheimer and
Walt. The US should cut foreign aid to Israel to get it back to the
peace tables.
I can understand why Iran would want to pursue nuclear weapons. It would
negate the Israeli nuclear threat, a reality US foreign policy ignores.
