This Is a Victory?
[Jerusalem Post] Barry Rubin - The Arab world professes to be amazed that Hizballah soldiers did not drop their guns and run away but actually managed to kill some Israelis before suffering far more casualties and having their operational area overrun. If this is defined as victory, obviously expectations are rather low. What truly counts is this: Israel will get an anti-rocket system, improve its tanks' defenses, and fix other shortcomings. It will rebuild the north quickly without foreign aid. As bizarre as it seems, we are now in the phase of the united front against fascism. All Arab regimes but Syria now have parallel interests to Israel and the West in opposing the Iranian-Syrian axis of Ahmadinejad and Assad.
