America has begrudgingly tolerated Israeli excesses in the past because it faced on viable rival with other plans. <br /><br />Now American influence in the Middle East is not only in decline, following its disastrous and failed adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it is facing new regional challenges from China and Russia.
