I do not see a happy ending here. Not with a tough and expansive policy, not with a smaller Israel.

I am very worried. Hezbollah et al are attacking now because they know the hands of the US are tied in Iraq and that its unlikely the EU will come to the aid of Israel. I think that Syria might join the fight while Iran backs it up with aid and money; that even the Saudies may decide to take sides. Things are the grimmest they've been in quite some time.

Z, from the blog:

Terrorism is to fanatics and nations what the gun was for petite men versus strong men: a great equalizer.

What if the strong men also armed themselves with the same gun?

Reminds me of a rap song about a young gangsta who gets his hands on a gun. He not only acts all big and tough, he decides to prove his "manhood" by pulling it on a stranger. Unfortunately for him, the stranger then pulls his own gun. And the stranger has better aim and steadier hands. Poor gangsta.

The Talmud warned us of our oath not to take back the land by force. That if we did, that “our flesh will be made free like wild animals in the field.”

Its seems there is a lot of wisdom in the Talmud.
