James Baker is not that "innocent". From what I've read, he arranged the deal by which Syria assumed hegemony over Lebanon under Bush 1. Also , I have read quotes of him as saying F*** the Jews". Finally, from what I have read, his law firm has as it's major clients the Saudi Government. That is not innocent. I believe it shows a prejudicial view of the situation in the Middle East.
