Michigan WWW. grei s.com Volaric: The Democratic Party and other leftist groups must be forced to recognize and accept that conflicts in the Middle East are not tools to be used in advancing their radical domestic politi- cal agenda. If negotiations with the Palestinian Authority fail, the United States should cease all aid, announce that the "peace process" is dead and tell the Palestinian people that when they change their lead- ers to those who want and will honestly work toward peace, the United States stands ready to help them. We should: • Recognize that no peace is possible until nations and non-state actors in the Middle East acknowledge Israel's right to exist. That means insisting that no nego- tiations with the Palestinian Authority take place until all of Israel's neighbors have recognized it and established diplo- matic relations. • Make it completely and unequivo- cally clear that in the event of any attack on Israel, the United States will provide any level of support necessary to ensure the safety and survival of Israel. • Make it completely and unequivo- cally clear that any nation that employs, encourages or arms any non-state actor in the region will be held politically and military responsible for the non-state actor's actions. JN: How critical is it that Iran does not get nuclear weapons and what should the U.S. do to ensure it doesn't? Volaric: It was of paramount importance that Iran be prevented from obtaining nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, because the U.S. has adopted a policy of wishful thinking on this issue, it is too late to prevent it. The Iranian government must be informed that we will hold them responsible for any action taken with any weapons they produce, regardless of "ownership" or "control" at time of use. Levin: Iran's nuclear program represents a severe threat to Israel and American national interests. I support the multi- lateral efforts of the Obama administra- tion to impose sanctions to curb Iran's nuclear program. I cosponsored and worked actively on the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act, which was recently approved by Congress, which impos- es an array of tough new economic penalties aimed at persuading Iran to change its conduct.

Making a Decision SPECIAL COLLEGE PRICING 20 October 21 • 2010 Levin: The U.S. and Israel are close allies and share an important strategic relationship. Our continued strong support for Israel is vital as negotia- tions with the Palestinian Authority go forward. While U.S. leadership is needed to assist the peace process, the course and outcome of the negotiations are in the hands of Israel and the Palestinian Authority. A peace agreement cannot be imposed by well-meaning third parties. It is also clear that continued U.S. support will be needed if and when an agreement is reached. JN
