Note that this is an opinion column, not a news report or a newspaper-sponsored analysis done by a reporter. Also the author does not do justice to the subject, implying much more agreement than actually exists. I didn't want to go into the political mess of this, however, simply point out that I was a bit confused as to what I was reading.
