and to admit that there are times we screwed up but its also not just about us its also about Israel.
Not saying our government should bail on them or atleast not yet but it should stop covering their asses when they mess up and that includes telling them no aid or support after 2013 if they refuse to reset their borders back to the pre-1967 state.
As for Jerusalem I think that should be declared property of the UN and in fact the UN should consider moving there.
This way it would hopefully keep it open up to all regardless of their religion plus it puts the UN itself on the doorstep as it were to a region that needs far more attention that new york.
