- 2006-03-20 [Talk|Index] Pro-Israel lobby in U.S. under attack § [2]2=“Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, author of "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics" and Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard's Kenney School, and author of "Taming American Power: The Global Response to U.S. Primacy," are leading figures American in academic life. ..
