Todah rabah (thank you very much) to David Gergen

An Unfair Attack by David Gergen
in U.S. News & World Report

It brings no joy to issue a public rebuttal against a valued colleague, but there are moments that demand no less. The occasion is the publication of a nerve-jangling essay entitled "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," written by two professors, John Mearsheimer ...and Stephen Walt ...

As a Christian, let me add that it is also wrong and unfair to call into question the loyalty of millions of American Jews who have faithfully supported Israel while also working tirelessly and generously to advance America's cause, both at home and abroad. They are among our finest citizens and should be praised, not pilloried.

Read it all.

And while we're at this, see also Kurt Nimmo's comment at Global Research.ca that

As Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer have recently documented, foreign policy in the United States is essentially an extension of the Israeli determination to undermine and balkanize Arab neighbors at any cost, especially if that cost is borne out by benighted American tax-payers propagandized to believe they face a long-term Islamic “fascist” threat.

This comment is addressed to David Gergan, who I think has lost him marbles. Heroic efforts of Jimmy Carter? Pressure on Arabs and Israel alike? Um, thanks for the support that we aren't seeking to rule the world and all, but leave the heavy lifting to someone who knows what they are talking about.
