Zeev: re: "Lieberman as a mere figurehead" ? <<As for Lieberman, why would the Arabs object more to Lieberman than they objected to Kissinger? The State department surely has more influence on international policy than a figure head Vice President.>> - a figure head ? ... how about one heartbeat, or one "Monk-gate" fundraising scandal away from "the office".... a "figure-head" Zeev ? C'Mon. But; you are certainly correct - this area is difficult to understand...

<<As for Lieberman, why would the Arabs object more to Lieberman than they objected to Kissinger?>> 2 reasons: 1) He is an Orthodox Jew, Kissinger is not. That implies (to some, not me) a greater commitment to Israel and to Judaism in general. 2) He is 2nd in line to succeed the President. Kissinger was further removed in the line of succession (though probably wielded more power as Secretary of State). BTW, tell me who was Secretary of State during the first Arab Oil embargo?<GGG>
