Article in The Nation on Hamas and Hizbullah

I see that The Nation has put up on its website a teaser for a piece I wrote for them about a month ago, which is on the need for Hamas and Hizbullah to be included in Arab-Israeli peacemaking if those two respective tracks of it are to be successful.
The piece starts with a little vignette designed to show the degree to which the vast majority of members of the US “political class”– i.e., legislators and media bigwigs– have for many years now considered themselves bound to follow Israel’s lead, rather than their own reading of the US people’s interests, in matters of Israeli-Arab diplomacy.
Of course, this is also a big part of what Walt and Mearsheimer have been writing about.

Update Sunday a.m.: Thanks to alert co-poster Scott for having figured out you can read the whole text here.

Sometime I might blog the slightly amusing story of how this piece got edited and then de-edited…
