Excellent and succinct analysis, very good judgement.

Good judgement is what is most lacking in world leadership today. It appears that each generation is bound to make its own mistakes rather than learn from the previous ones. I also believe that Israel missed a golden opportunity in not creating an independent christian state in south lebanon when the christians and muslims were at war.
