    Like this is the American People's fault. Focus on the US State Department in
    whom, the local consulates become advocacy societies, in every country except
    Israel. The peeps still be ungrateful in Egypt land, and righteously p-o'd at
    the US, and not just for supporting Israel.

    Yes, which is why the administration is moving on several fronts. According
    to the latest news reports, the Israel government is offering to remove
    settlements for peace. We'll shall see if this is an actual offer, or just
    political flummery. Being sensibly pessimistic, lets not sell the pyramids
    just yet. But, my point is, that the undermining of a baathist regime here,
    the forwarding of a peace settlement there, may indeed undermine the
    ayatollahs, the jihadi osama's, and make for a somewhat better world. Now how
    Extropian is that?
