Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) and Walt (Harvard) are two of the best and most well known political science minds of our time. This isn’t some book written by wackos. Especially in light of recent events, and the general sort of shock expressed by people in regards to BO’s almost-nearly-but-not-quite-tough remarks towards Israel, this book will explain why his qualified criticizing of Israel is such a change. It also makes clear that it should be okay to do so. Read it, tell your friends about it, and so on. It’s high time that folks in the US realize that maybe their government’s policy towards Israel really isn’t helping the US at all.
