US ends efforts to halt Israel's security wall (We Won - State Dept Loses!)

Works for me (conservative Christian fly-over country guy)

As for the State Dept., I heard an interview with a fellow who has written a book
titled "Dangerous Diplomacy".

He says that when George Schultz (who served in the US Marine Corps!) headed the State Dept.,
he'd have new staff (Ambassadors, etc.) come to visit him in his office.
Schultz would take them to a large globe and request the new State Dept. employee
to "point out your country".

Almost invariably, the new hire would point out the country they were posted to, e.g.,
Nigeria, China, etc.

Schultz would then calmly say, "No, point out YOUR country."

I hope Colin Powell and lots of succeeding Sec. of State would follow this example.
