The document is a forward from Thomas L. Friedman's article titled "Why Not in Vegas?" published on July 31, 2012. The main topic of the article is Mitt Romney's visit to Israel during his presidential campaign. In the article, Friedman questions why Romney's trip to Israel was focused on satisfying the political whims of the right-wing and American Jewish casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, rather than learning about the country. He also observes that much of what is wrong with the U.S.-Israel relationship today can be found in Romney's trip.
