Hi Electratig; The Jewish Lobby consists of the representatives of the interests of the state of Israel who's function in Washington is to promote and articulate their positions on world events. The concept of another Muslim state breeding and supporting terrorist causes next door motivates their position.
Reffering to Colin Powell; he is the only member of the administration who holds the respect of all of the governments involved and had an opportunity to broker some kind of peace initiative; his exact approach and plan will be revealed in his memoirs. The administration had no exposure on this so naturally they trumpeted their support.
I am sorry but I can't reply to the Clinton Presidencies position on Rwanda. That was a very different situation and we would ultimately be reduced to quoting facts from self designated authorities and bloggers with agendas.
As far as bombing the Sudanese government; our buddies in ,"The Coalition", Pakistan and Russia would not support it in the Security Council, considering they do a lot of business there.
Thanks for the book recomendation; I have heard Mr. Gourevich interviewed on several occasions but sad to say I have not read his book.
