Re: Is this the end of Pax americana ? (4.00 / 3)
The Myth is that the US president could just snap it's fingers and Israel would lie down. No way in hell is that true.

For once you have half a point, though in this specific case I think you're wrong and America could get Israel to ramp down their idiotic, counterproductive, and criminal bombing campaign.  It's like Iran and Syria with respect to Hezbollah - lots of support and plenty of influence, but only limited control.
