| Public gloating by an Israeli prime minister that he can order a US president off a podium and instruct him to reverse and humiliate his secretary of state may cause even Ehud?s poodle to rise up on its hind legs one day and bite its master. Taking such liberties with a superpower that has shoveled out $150 billion and subordinated its own interests in the Arab and Islamic world would seem a hubristic and stupid thing to do. |
