Regarding The Economist's article on Iran and Israel. As usual, the Economist takes Israel's side, being a right-wing rag. Note their interviewing of Israelis only, and their taking of Israel's allegation of Syria's "nuclear" site bombing.
The Economist is basically a more intelligent version of the Weekly Standard.

Regarding Bush selling weapons, I love how the Israelis' perpetual sense of entitlement.
I know know to what extent that the article is true, but I wouldn't be surprised by it or by the Obama administrations reaction to it. The Democrats have always been even more crazily pro-Israel than the GOP.
