Synopsis

Taking up the warning in George Washington's Farewell Address that Americans should avoid "a passionate attachment" to another nation which could create "the illusion of a common interest ...where no common interest exists", the authors examine America's 40-year involvement with the Middle East. They trace the sequence of events which brought the US into a relationship unique in its history, and consider the financial cost of American aid to Israel which, they claim, well exceeds the total US payments to reconstruct post-war Europe. Also considered is the political and moral cost of this attachment: the US denouncing arms sales as destabilizing the Middle East; championing national self-determination, and accepting Israeli arguments for expansion into the West bank.
