"One comment by Aviad Pohoryles in the daily Maariv was entitled "A Bullet in the Back from Uncle Sam." It accused Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of pursuing a naive, smug, and insular diplomacy heedless of the risks.
Who is advising them, he asked, "to fuel the mob raging in the streets of Egypt and to demand the head of the person who five minutes ago was the bold ally of the president ... an almost lone voice of sanity in a Middle East?"
"The politically correct diplomacy of American presidents throughout the generations ... is painfully naive."" Reuters

I have news for all you Zionists out there. In my experience our (American) word to friends is generally "good" only when the general childishness and ignorance of our; academics, journalists and politicians is not threatened by reality in some way. Oh, yes, and then there is the general public. This brings to mind the tourist people who got off planes in Cairo yesterday and expressed surprise that there is a problem in the streets. In someone's priceless remark, they should have stayed at home watching "American Idol."
Today I heard the "great " journalist Andrea Mitchell" discuss this matter with Martin Indyk the transplanted British/Australian/"American" foreign affairs phenomenon. He was broadcasting from Brookings where he lives off Zionist money at the Saban Center.
While she fawned, smiled and nodded, this great thinker said (paraphrasing) that the Arab rulers should "understand" that they should "get on the right side of history" before it is too late. If he doesn't know that any sign of weakness in the crisis now upon them will bring them down, then he does not deserve his reutation as a "statesman." He then expressed the belief that the fall of these rulers would be a catastrophic event for the United States and Israel. She continued to smile.
His remark implies of course that there IS a "right side" of history. Childish.
BTW, why aren't he and the Saban Center registered under FARA? pl
