Heads of State: American Jewish C’ttee President Discusses Iran Policy With Argentine President

Strange. Just after I blogged about Avraham Burg describing American Jewry as a "semi-autonomous" structure affiliated with Zionism, here is the American Jewish Committee's report on a meeting between the AJC President, a man named Richard Sideman, and the Argentine President de Kirchner. An hour long, and a lot of policy: what to do about Iran, treatment of Israel at the U.N. Since when are private American citizens supposed to meet foreign heads of state to discuss policy? Remember how much trouble Jimmy Carter got in for going to Damascus to try and talk to his friend Assad? Not a peep this time round. This is all about being semi-autonomous. Thanks to Jeff Blankfort for the tip.
