What's missing in this is that no one has done a survey of these dual-passport persons to solicit their reasons for having a dual citizenship. I distrust resorting to paranoia when actual research is needed.

To give you an example, my wife is a Zambian national in the U.S. on a green card, intending to apply for U.S. citizenship. She is by birth a Zambian citizen. She and we have children and relatives still in Zambia, which is a wonderful place to visit. Once she gets her U.S. citizenship, according to the law in Zambia, as her husband I will be eligible for Zambian citizenship also, not requiring that I renounce my U.S. citizenship. That would make life much easier in traveling to and from Zambia and conducting business over there. It would be obligatory not to get into circumstances where there would be a conflict of loyalty. So, do people do this? Plenty, it turns out, but Zambia is not at the axis of world politics.

As for AIPAC having an influence, that would be its purpose. israel knows very well that if America was not its friend, its days would be over, with mass genocide. If I were in their shoes, I could hardly do otherwise. At least they are open and above board with their influence. The lobbyists are totally under the table.
