Ha’aretz, via Doc Searls, on The war’s implications for Israel:
The United States will make do with bad solutions, based on the long-standing American principle of forging poor settlements the consequences of which will be paid by others in the future….
What conclusion should Israel draw from the war? That it should hurry on its own to achieve a good settlement that will make it possible to rehabilitate the economy and start rehabilitating the society and the state of democracy in the country. In the new world, Israel’s major asset is not military might but genuine membership in the club of the advanced countries.
