Our Regime, Middle-Eastern Regimes, Disasters and Death

Only time to point friends to two great columns, summarizing a lot of reporting and commenting on the current debacle between Israel and Gaza, Israel and Lebanon. Oh, and on the absolute absence of any real push or position by The Regime-- cut-and-run?: Done!

First column: Attention, at Mahablog (Thursday morning).
Second column: Where's George, also at Mahablog (Thursday evening).

She also points to a Newsweek article, "Passing the Buck", by Michael Hirsch.
