I guess part of America's problem is exactly what Khaled Meshal has described, the stranglehold that the Likud party and similar right-wing Zionist groups, through AIPAC and similar less-publicized organizations have achieved over foreign policy in both major American political parties. Some Americans, including those cited by Meshal, have clearly identified the problem.
Your post, taken at face value, made sense right up to your final dismissive comment. In four short words, all you achieved was to demonstrate precisely the mindset that is - - as Meshal pointed out - - costing America a devasting loss of influence in the Middle East and in the world.
It's almost as if, in another field, you had quoted a few paragraphs verbatim from some eminently sensible work of science, mathematics or philosophy, say the Origin of Species or Principia Mathematica or the Critique of Pure Reason and then finished off with, "what'll these lunatics come up with next?"
Most people reading the post through to its surprise ending would be wondering, "What was wrong with that anyway?"
