Why
Does the author call the countries in the region by their names - Kuwait, Oman, Iran, Lebanon, Egypt and so on but follow Israel with the title "the Jewish State"? Why not follow the name Saudi Arabia, whose constitution details Sha'aria as the law of the land, with the moniker "the Muslim State"?
Lets keep things professional, use official names on an equal basis and drop the monikers, can we?
Other than that, I am not a fan of Americas policy in the region but the subject can't be properly served in a letter, or even in a two page article. I think Kamiya tries to do too much here and spends too much time quoting cherry picked authors rather than really analysing the situation. Then again, I don't believe he is qualified to do so.
