In a rational world, Giuliani's call for Israel to join NATO would provoke major controversy rather than deafening silence.
  • Lieberman Gambit

    Couldn't Giuliani's floating of this idea be seen as a Lieberman gambit? Strong pro-Israeli sentiment is at least as prevalent in the Democratic as in the Republican party. If you can skim off the cream of such support add add it to your natural Republican base, could be a decisive advantage. Another unfortunate factor is that just when some sanity was being injected into the debate (Mearsheimer & Walt), this probably shifts the window to the right again.
