Fog of War
(New York Times) Thomas L. Friedman - The first rule of warfare: never launch a war that you can't explain to your people and the world on a bumper sticker. The Palestinians could never explain why they were killing Jews to end an occupation that the U.S. and Israel were offering to end through diplomacy. There is only one bumper-sticker phrase that can explain such behavior: "Death to Israel." And if that is their real strategy, then a war to the death it will be.
