Why do people believe that we have the right to tell Israel what its capital is? Our capital is Washington, DC and no nation would dispute that. Germany's capital was in Bonn and now is in Berlin. No nation disputes that or would dispute its right to move its capital again. Israel is a sovereign nation determines where its capital is located.

We have effectively recognized this fact since that is where our Secretary of State and Vice-President have gone to meet with Israeli leaders. Mitt Romney did what a leader should do and made his position clear and unambiguous. The Obama administration cannot answer a direct question on where the capital is located. As with so many issues, their answer is whatever they believe the questioner wants to hear.
