Israel — “a rogue 51st state”

In response to the ISG report, with its call for Israeli territorial concessions in order to stop the violence in Iraq, David Frum asks, “why is it all always about Israel?”
Peter Preston in the Guardian has a novel answer: Israel, you see, is really the 51st state. And James Baker, apparently, is the president of these 51 United States. Therefore, Israel should stop playing the “rogue” and obey Baker’s “injunction.”
