The United States is pressuring Israel to relinquish control over access to Gaza. This includes abandoning the Philadelphi Corridor , allowing a free port in Gaza and overland transit to the West Bank.

How absurd. It is one thing to attempt to do so as part of transforming the Middle East, it is another to do so when the US has failed miserably in this endeavor.

The US has failed to stabilize Iraq where the death toll of civilians, politicians and diplomats is increasing. Furthermore the constitutional process is not going well. The Sunni representatives have resigned. There is lack of agreement on the exclusion of Sharia law, on Iraq not being an Arab country and on the division of resources. But there is agreement on preventing Israelis from becoming citizens.

All this seems to suggest a breakup of Iraq into three countries which is the total opposite of what the US wants. Finally it was hoped that Iraq would be a friend of the West, yet we saw last week that it has gotten into bed militarily and economically with the Iranians.
