It’s nice to see some balance and even-handedness by the U.S. in the Middle East at last.

One thought on “A Balanced U.S. Policy in the Middle East”

  1. Being a lackey for Saudi Arabia and being a lackey for Israel are not mutually exclusive. We are not advancing the interests of “the Arabs “. Palestinians and Yemeni are Arabs, and we’re definitely not advancing their interests.
