Nevertheless, the White House has decided that it will not move on the Iranian nuclear threat until Israel follows American instructions on [...]

Michael Oren – Thoughts
Michael Oren is one of my favorite writers. A great historian, he manages to compile long and complicated histories in a fairly simple, and easily digestible way.
