Hossein,

We are hurting our global standing because of the blindness and deafness of leadership in the White House and Congress.

Their lack of foresight and self-interest distort or completely ignore our national interests. As you rightly point out, Netanyahu's address to Congress is a travesty and a blatant attempt to interfere in our elections.

As the war continues, the risks increase (a pattern witnessed by the strengthening of the alliance between Putin and Kim in the Ukrainian war and the full ramifications understood by too few).

The Israel/Lebanon front could explode into all-out war, multiplying the tragedy and plunging America into a horrendous position of defending Netanyahu and his extremist thugs.

I repeat. Where is leadership?

Many thanks, and best to you.
