Dennis Ross

Look at this fawning tribute to Dennis Ross in the NYT.  It talks extensively about his close ties with Israeli leaders.  It says nothing about this very negative reputation among all Arabs.  It says nothing about the negative reactions that his name evokes among Arabs/Muslims.  I love how some Americans respond to such claims: they often say, but he has close ties with Kings and princes.  Yes, keep on wishing that those princes and kings speak for the Arab people, just as you wished that Mubarak spoke for the entire Egyptian people.
