Eve - great post.
PM I think that its a bit naive to say 'the american lobbying system allows anyone to participate'. Check the AIPAC site on the internet, and you'll see there is really only one group who is directing policy in the USA for the sole benefit of its own people. How are muslims/arabs going to intercept something so entrenched into the political system in the States, when they are possibly the most hated/feared group of people who the West largly believe are 'uncivilized and violent'? Lets just be realistic.
Its not whining if its the truth, its merely highlighting facts.
