Obama is said to have chosen Dennis Ross, Richard Holbrooke and Richard Haass as his envoys re Iran, Afghanistan/Pakistan, and Israel/Palestine respectively. And the Israel lobby is just another lobby. It is not that some Jews can't be fairminded. And I don't know much about Haass except that he's utterly conventional, a former Bushie, pro-Iraq, mobbed up with Martin Indyk. The issue here is, religion and ethnicity matter. Where's the balance? Where's Kurtzer? Where's Miller? Where's an Arab-American? Where's…. Obama? (Jack Ross warns: Wait for MSM confirmation.)
