Things are about to go from bad to worse in the Middle East. An Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement is nowhere in sight. Lebanon just became a Hezbollah state, which is to say that Iran has become an even more important regional power, and Egypt, once stable if tenuously so, has been pitched into chaos.

Diplomacy: Sitting in the Oval Office Monday with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, President Obama hailed France as our top friend and ally. Nothing against France, but that’s an insult to the United Kingdom.
