...Power seems obsessed with Israel, and in a negative way. Much like the authors of the Baker-Hamilton report, she believes resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is central to solving other problems in the Middle East.

It is an article critical of New York Times columnist Tom Friedman who has taken the same position as Samantha Power.
A video of an interview Power gave about using U.S. Troop deployment to maintain Peace and Nation Build in the West Bank follows the article.
It is a must view!
Hey, this is what they must have wanted, since they voted for it.
