News from afar: Here we go again. No sooner have ties with close ally Israel deteriorated over the settlements in East Jerusalem issue - and a coalition of Hillary Clinton, the UN, the EU, and Russia have condemned it - before Obama plays the Iranian card. Offering dialogue and stretching out his hands to the Iranians. An old - very old, if not tired - card to play with Israel. The cat playing with the mice again. So now, it would appear, we also need a couples' therapist for USA and Israel, whose bonds are really much closer than either part wants to admit. Happy Wilsonian/Jacksonian double play!
