Today, any half-failed state can charge us usurious rates for fuel, steal our intellectual property, and undermine our every last UN Security Council effort–and still have George Bush call them a vital partner in peace and prosperity. Ours is the broadest definition of ally in the history of geopolitical interaction.
This may go some way towards explaining why it does not impress people to say that Israel is an important ally of the US. It is a club just about anyone can join these days.
