SFA, you know it cuz u liv here...anyone who has not lived in main stream US can not see fine lines its society, politics, and its systems.
Truly, jews run key institutions and a govt can not operate without these institutions. Yes they support Israeli cause and draw support from US policy and decision makers in favor of their ideologies. They were not given this status on silver platter. Infact, they faced much more aggression, hostility, discrimination, disgrace, and hatred in the first half of last century than what Muslims face today.
Their response was passive, long term but solidly grounded into education, having true pride in their religion, building bridges with their worst opponents, and establishing institutions (I mean true institutions of thought and intelligence). They targeted most critical positions and worked their hardest to reach their goals.
Next in line are Indians. Pakistan will face a tough time countering Indian lobby and their influence on Amercan policy making, 'cuz Pakis always react!
Muslims, particularly Pakis are busy in following trends set by US, Israel, and now India. They don't create institutions, or set trends, or introduce new developments, they are rather melting in this big pot and are getting consumed.
