Meh. They lost their credibility ages ago IMHO. Their constant crying victim coupled with aggressive behavior has created some rather insane problems with the region. I've long held that the US should back away. I think they'd behave quite a bit more responsibly if they were left out to dry a bit. As it is, with the backup of the most massive military in the world, they've generally shown that they're quite happy to abuse their power more or less with impunity.
Why the US continues to support them is beyond me. You'd think that the attack on the USS Liberty would give a pretty good indication of their character. Money and politics make some strange bedfellows indeed.
