<p>I want to give you an intelligence briefing on what is happening in the Muslim Middle East.</p>
<p>In 1979 I wrote a book, Israel: America's Key to Survival. It was endorsed by the Prime Minister of Israel, Menachem Begin. On that same day, I told Mr. Begin that a young man I had just met would one day be prime minister—not once, but twice. His second term in office would be the most dangerous in all of Israel's existence. I asked the prime minister to give young Benjamin Netanyahu a post in his government. The next night, the job offer came.</p>
