<<Israelis understand that the war on terror isn't a "cycle of violence" ut an existential struggle that defines our ability to survive in the Middle East. >>

A few days ago, you and I discussed your reaction to a Post article that you saw framed inappropriately as a "cycle of violence" story but that looked to me like just-the-facts reporting. I hadn't realized that the cycle-of-violence template was so sensitive. At the time you characterized your alternative framework as "good journalism."

I'm wondering now whether "good journalism" is the flip side of cycle-of-violence or whether "existential struggle" is. The latter seems to me to fit your objection to the Post story as well as or better than the good-journalism explanation. Is existential-struggle the alternative to cycle-of-violence in your mind?
