DAL One thing about it — after Obama’s made all his overtures, only to be rebuffed again and again as the new suitor in town, he’ll be able to retreat to a more thoughtful political perspective, showing the world that he did all he could to establish peace.

My question is: Why must the USA always take it upon itself to *be* the peacemaker, in addition to world-cop?
A: Imperialism;
B: Empire building;
C: Ego?

It always puts us at odds with our allies, one way or another.
We have more to gain by supporting and protecting Israel than establishing accords with hostile forces written only to be broken.

Mr. President, Please fix our problems domestic, and allow the world to take care of itself for while. People are homeless, sick and starving right here in California, let alone the whole country. We need your help right now more than do the Israeli’s, who really just wish you’d stay home for awhile.
