The Arab world is in turmoil, the traditional US allies, corrupt and authoritarian regimes, are falling, the key country the US were relying upon for keeping some peace in the Middle East, Egypt, will go its own way. The entire castle, built over the years and that everybody knew was fragile, is collapsing.
Certainly Obama was fast in adapting to the Egyptian crisis (but the entire army is US trained, armed and financed!), has more difficulties in dealing with Libya and has no clue as to how to deal with Bahrain.
What is clear to all, and should be to the Obama's government, is that the Middle East will no longer be the same and relationships with the Arab world will be totally different. And as a consequence, the Israeli-Palestinian problem needs to be looked at in a different perspective.
Clear and simple. But not for the US and the blind Ms. Clinton whose electorate comprises the powerful Jewish community of New York State. So, yesterday, the US opposed a veto to a resolution condemning the Israeli settlements in occupied territories, which goes against previously voted Security Council resolutions.
The statements made by the US ambassador after the vetos do not change the facts: the US had a golden opportunity to show that it had understood that the Middle East is no longer the same. They had the opportunity to show to the Arab masses that they had understood and that the illegal and scandalous policy of Israel had lost the US support.
They missed everything and this will not help a settlement in the area. The masses, mad at their "leaders" (or better at the dictators that reign), will win, sooner than later. And then they will revolt against the US. A crisis nobody can imagine as yet.
It's Foreign Policy, idiot, get rid of Ms Clinton and be real. We are fed up of paying for the errors of the US blinded foreign policy.
