Monopoly Power: Pakistan and the Israel Lobby

By BADRUDDIN KHAN

Recent events in Pakistan should serve as a wake up call. There is more
to the Mideast region than Israel and its Arab antagonists. The Israel
Lobby has been successful in inducing the United States into
mis-allocating its resources to protect Israeli interests, and this is
now having a profound and lasting impact. It is time for supporters of
the Israel Lobby to face up to the fact that what is good for Israel is
not necessarily good for the United States. The Mideast is not best
viewed through Israeli interests, and there is much more at stake than
Israel's welfare.
