Agree completely, other than the idea that you used to think it was really important. If you aren't Arab, Muslim, Jewish or in some related group, why did that conflict ever seem more important to you than one of the other many conflicts around the globe? Most US citizens are non-stakeholders in that battle, so why we give it so much more concern than the Tutsi-Hutu battle is beyond me. Yet, consider, Elroy, that serious fp advisers go out day after day and proclaim that not only is I/P serious, it is some kind of magic key that will solve all our Mideast problems, even our problems in Afghanistan! That's what Biden meant when he said that Israel building a housing development in Jerusalem endangered American troops in Afghanistan.
