| The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy |
 |
In the recent study "The Israel Lobby and
U.S. Foreign Policy", the authors of the
paper, Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard
University and John Mearsheimer of the
University of Chicago, charge that the United
States has willingly set aside its own
security and that of many of its allies in
order to advance the interests of Israel. In
addition the study accuses the pro-Israeli
lobby, particularly AIPAC of manipulating the
U.S. media, policing academia and silencing
critics of Israel by labeling them as
anti-Semitic.
A new article in the New York Review of Books
examines the controversial report and the
reaction to it. It's called "The Storm Over
the Israel Lobby." It was written by media
critic Michael Massing, who joins Amy Goodman
for the interview. Michael is a contributing
editor of the Columbia Journalism Review and
frequently writes for the New York Review of
Books.

_to_Lead
Retired four-star general and former
Democratic Presidential candidate Wesley
Clark criticizes the course of U.S. foreign
policy in the wake of September 11, 2001.
-----
Wesley Clark discusses "A Time to Lead."
Wesley Clark sought the presidency during the
2004 elections, seeking to bring a less
hawkish perspective to the White House. After
the campaign, Clark did not end his crusade
for what he sees as a better America, one
that supports his vision of a responsible
foreign policy. He believes that hard work,
leadership and determination will ultimately
turn the country around. - The Commonwealth
Club
Wesley Clark is a retired four-star general
of the United States Army. Clark was
valedictorian of his class at West Point, was
awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to the
University of Oxford where he earned a
master's degree in economics, and later
graduated from the Command and General Staff
College with a master's degree in military
science. He spent 34 years in the Army and
the Department of Defense, receiving many
military decorations, several honorary
knighthoods, and a Presidential Medal of
Freedom.
