BBC News: Reports that the Obama Administration still supports the plan for a two state solution to the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. The problem is that the government is Israel does not, its their backyard, they have to follow a policy that protects the security of Israel. President Obama cant go to out on a limp, the Israeli Lobby is very powerful in American Politics and in the Democratic Party. Thus Obama will find as most American Presidents find its best to become a Middle East expert in your second term. President Ronald Reagan could place pressure on Israel when Israel went to far in Lebanon in 1982, the President stated to the Israeli PM that the relationship between Israel and the USA was on the line, Israel back down. Obama is no Reagan, and Obama might need Israel to bomb Iran before it gets the bomb.
