The article above deals with this very topic, and I have to say how surprised I am at the tone that is developing between the Obama administration and Netanyahu’s government in Israel.It certainly appears that Israel’s refusal to listen to America’s requests that development of the settlements cease completely is creating a real tension between the two leaders.There could be some pretty serious problems if this evasive attitude continues.Hillary Clinton’s statements in the article struck me as rather inflammatory and nitpicky, but they are surely a reflection of President Obama’s irritations.If Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to take the position that building will continue in the interests of natural growth, a confrontation is likely.In addition, his refusal to consider a public acknowledgement of the need for a Palestinian state continues to stall the much-needed resuming of peace talks.This may turn into a situation that reflects the “bullies respond to strength” mentality.If Mr. Netanyahu continues with his hard line approach for much longer, ignoring the diplomatic requests of President Obama, then Israel may find itself the attention of the bullying power of America.
ok it's Iraq but it's interesting

number of entries that tie more to your topic than theirs. Enjoy.
