Reader comment on:
Bush Hints His Team Will Link Iraq to Arab-Israeli Conflict
in response to reader comment: The road to peace in the ME

Israel's presence in the Mid-east is just an excuse. If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, the dicatators in the Arab world would find another boogyman. The problem is the dicatorships themselves. They need external enemies to distract the populace from their real problems. The Soviet Union and Cuba are excellent example of this. What is needed is a more agressive foreign policy directed at these dictatorships rather pressure on Israel to take actions that make its position less secure.
