The seeds of the Bush administration's woeful lack of engagement in the Israeli/Palestinian/Hezbollah/Hamas/Syrian/Lebanese conflicts in favor of the war in Iraq are now being reaped in what looks like all-out war and many casualties. Even Sen. Clinton spoke out competently today about this lack of engagement and its fatal consequences.
Andrea Mitchell posted an able analysis on MSNBC.com which pointed out that members of both parties are critical of the administration's lack of concern about Israeli/Palestinian relations. See U.S. stands alone in defending Israel
My question is: Why would the Bush administration get involved in anything which might delay the arrival of Armageddon?
