By Rami G. Khouri
"As attention shifts to the United Nations deliberations in New York, a striking new aspect of this novel political landscape is the isolation and perhaps even the temporary impotence of the United States. Washington is feeling the pain of its own self-inflicted diplomatic castration, as a consequence of siding so strongly with Israel. It refuses to talk to key players like Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran and the Syrian government, is now cold-shouldered by the Lebanese government, and speaks only to Arab governments with increasingly less credibility and impact."
