While there were some loons in Israeli politics that favored George's plunge into Iraq, I agree that there were plenty that were sensible enough to see if for the folly that it was, and that it would not be good for Israel; and I don't agree with the notion that Israel goaded George into doing it. I do hold the neocons and pnacers, many of whom are Jews, responsible, but that just means those fellows are guilty fools, and says nothing about Jews or Israelis in general or in particular, otherwise.
There is no question in my mind that Hiz'bullah deliberately picked this fight. To my mind that is all the more reason to keep a cool head and not overreact. Wiser heads might well ask why Hiz'bullah decided to start a war now? The current IDF offensives are foolish and violent, and Israel will regret the day it elected that fuckwit Olmert and allowed Halutz and his friends to run amok like this. Uncle Sugar is tied down in two other wars already and everybody else is pissed off and unsympathetic, which makes it not a good time to start a regional war.
