in and of itself doesn t tell us anything about what mitt romney is doing abroad. that brings me to number three and the real point and we can focus on it now, what governor romney said is that in israel, for example, the united states policy should be to treat jerusalem as the capital. now, that s a foreign policy position, but it s also a political position. if you look at what s going on in israel, that is not one of the priorities in israel right now. that s a country that has on its borders two huge kinds of geopolitical crises. egypt, a country that has been a dictatorship and is the number one ally of israel on its border having faced an election and a lot of change and having the muslim brotherhood come into power. syria dealing with the civil war. you have real problems in israel and netanyahu administration looking at those issues and then you have a candidate come in and focus on something that seemed to a lot of people more of a political appeal back home in the u.s.
