We already have that responsibility. We can't avoid it: the Arabs already hold us responsible for anything nasty Israel does we already, de facto, have given a security guarantee to Israel every time we try to do anything, anywhere in the Middle East, it's made more difficult because there is no peace in Palestine. Our entire agenda is hostage to this issue. We are the Hegemon; the influence of all the other Powers who used to have responsibilities in the Middle East, has evaporated: Soviet Union, Britain, France To put it simply: we cannot win the War On Terrorism, if we don't have access and info given by a long list of Muslim countries, and that help will always be given grudgingly and partially, as long as the Israili-Palestinian war goes on. You don't want to become engaged on this issue, because you see how hard it is; I see no choice, if our broader goals are going to have any chance of success.
