[QUOTE]
"In practice, when Israel is acting in ways consistent with the U.S
national interest, we should back Israel, and when it's acting in ways
contrary to our national interest, Washington should distance itself
from Israel and use its leverage to change Israel's behavior, just as
the U.S. would do with any other country acting in ways that might harm
it."
-- John Mearsheimer
