  12. Should Obama have gone to Israel?

    President Obama flew to Israel on Wednesday to reassure Israelis that the U.S. will stand with them against their enemies. It&rsquo;s his first visit to Israel as president, even though he visited Cairo a few years ago. He has sparred in the past with Prime Minister Netanyahu over issues such as settlements on the West Bank. Some have suggested that Mr. Obama&rsquo;s trip was unnecessary if there's no hope of advancing Mideast peace. Others have said the president needs to pay his respects to Israel as head of state and that his visit will make the region more secure. What&rsquo;s your view?
