    Published on Saturday, April 8, 2006 by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Washington)
    To John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, heartfelt thanks are due. They are very eminent academics, from the University of Chicago and Harvard respectively, and the authors of a treatise titled "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy."
    To most European ears, their case is persuasive. Israel, they argue, has become a liability in Washington’s war on terror, that has reduced America’s ability to deal with (…)
