The Arab American News: Blame Israeli Policy

You really do not have to go far to find over-the-top Arab view points on United States foreign policy. Right here in the States you have The Arab American News reporting that the U.S. decisions regarding Iranian nuclear containment are driven by their commitment to Israeli dominance in the Middle East.

It is important to note that everyone is entitled to their opinion in this country, but there is a fact to take notice of. The Arab population is growing rapidly in America, not only Europe. While we have quite a different scenario and the Arab American population is far more assimilated than their European counter parts, this is important to note from a future voting perspective. At the end of the day politicians count on votes and as the Arab population and vote tally continues to grow over time, they will be more and more of a force to be lobbied and solicited.

Israel's ultimate deathblow might come from a withdrawal of American support over time as the Arab population and vote far surpasses the pro-Israel ones.

Removing Iran from the 'new Middle East'
By: Ramzy Baroud

The configuration of the new Middle East — as envisaged by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during the Israeli war against Lebanon in July and August 2006, most certainly has no place for more than one regional power broker, namely Israel.

Under such an arrangement — subservient Arabs and Iran governed by an all-powerful Israel and supervised, even from afar by the seemingly philanthropic United States — would ensure Israel's "security," which has for long served as a casus belli, and supposed American interests in the region. Regardless of what one thinks of such logic, in Washington, it prevails.
