You know that when the cat gets its voice back at the New York Times that President Bush is going to be reprimanded for his intemperance in calling for the United Nations to get its, er, stuff together to stop Hamas and Hizbollah.
As all thoughtful people know, the crisis in the Middle East is much more nuanced than that. Until the Times can finish clearing its throat, at least they have Paul Krugman growling about “the same cast of characters” behind the Times Select wall.
But at OpinionJournal.com James Taranto had some interesting tidbits about the Mideast War. Key Arab governments (well Sunni ones) are blaming Hizbollah for the war, and worrying that it will put the whole region back by years.
But whatever they are saying at the Arab League summit or not saying at the New York Times, the words of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert demand respect:
"Citizens of Israel, there are moments in the life of a nation, when it is compelled to look directly into the face of reality and say: no more," he said.
"And I say to everyone: no more. Israel will not be held hostage - not by terror gangs or by a terrorist authority or by any sovereign state,"
You can’t say fairer than that.
