China Confidential: China's Mideast Experts: War Weakened Israel
China Confidential: China's Mideast Experts: War Weakened IsraelHere's the bottom line from Chinese experts:
The clinical Chinese view is that Israel's failure to defeat Hezbollah (which is rearming under the noses of United Nations "peacekeepers" with Iranian-Syrian help) after 34 days of intense fighting and aerial bombardment was strategically important in terms of the damage done to Israel's deterrent power.Unfortunately, they are probably right, but even if they are not, perception suddenly becomes reality. Read the whole thing, and think about what they're saying about the Golan Heights.

Lichty,
I wish I knew when we could expect new elections. Barring a revolt in the coalition, it's going to be awfully hard to get new elections. Maybe they won't pass a budget by the end of March and we will have elections in June.
