    You are kidding me? Duly elected? "...when the Lebanese will vote for a new Parliament and Hizbullah, already a major influence, may take control of the government in Beirut. Will the reaction to a duly elected Islamist regime in Lebanon be the same as it was in Gaza? And with the same results?" What a tragedy when journalists repeat such sad and vile propaganda. With comments such as this, why not just say the Cedar revolution never happened. Come on!

    Oboma will give the Musliims whatever they want. He is one of them and bent of giving them the United States. This man is not to be trusted. He was elected president through fraud and is not legal to be president due to the his place of birth. The lier should be impeached on the first day he takes office for the goiod of the country

      I'll ignore the many spelling errors in your post. I simply ask, do you have any credible evidence for any of your assertions?

    for those of you who are condeming Israel how would you feel if your neighbor was shooting your family? What would you do? Try to talk peace? Yeah, right!

    If Hamas is soooo nice and trustworth and a tolerent society why don't you become a member and leave the US. Idealism is not realism when you are under rocket attack.
    Oh excuse me please stop it you are killing our (Israli) children.
    Why are we in the US so ignorant of how they really think Appeasement is not their game but our wekness

    The big question is who can tame the AIPAC and the Christian Fundamentalists in the U.S so we can stop this bloodshed. It's a shame that the so called American Morality doesn't work when it comes to the Holocaust of the Palestinians . Our founding fathers must be rolling in their graves especially George Washington, who was totally agaiinst any special realtionships with any country. How much blood Israel needs to shed using our Tax Dollars before they are Safe? How many Boogeymen are they going to create for us? President Elect Obama is going to be a Lame Duck president when it comes to the Middle East. If he tried to be fair then Hillary Clinton is going to be our next president.May God have his mercy on this world.

    while I did not support him in the election and I am not sure I can trust him I am at least going to give him a chance to get some things done. He has a hell of a job ahead and acrimony will not help, at much as I hate to say this we need to at least give him a chance......even as I say this I grimmace.....

    Shame on Israelis for killing innocent civilians and shame on all those who justify the death of 4 Israelis by killing 600 Palestenians. Also shame on all Arab and Muslimm Laders for their inability too act despite being one of the richest nations

    Can Obama outwit Iran and Hamas?

    No antigonisme there.

    If this is the best (headline) we can do to forge a "understanding" to begin to get things working again I'm afraid we have failed already.

    I think Israel should not only totally take out Humas and the Palistines, but I hope they travel onward and launch a huge attack against Iran. In fact, these Muslims do not want any kind of peace, so lets get rid of them all once and for all. Obama can't do a thing. Maybe he will learn fast to mind his own business.

      "I think Israel should not only totally take out Humas and the Palistines, but I hope they travel onward and launch a huge attack against Iran."

      Why, of course. Everyone knows Israel has the logistics train to drive all the way across the Middle East.

      UNNNNNNG!

    Your piece seems to miss the fact that once Hizbullah and Hamas become state actors, they lose their power to terrorize. Israel should withdraw from Gaza NOW so that Hamas can continue in power. They've been taught a lesson and they'll behave next time ... sure, they'll claim victory but who cares ... now they have skin the game and they understand that their promises to their people will not be fulfilled by their old terrorist ways. Israel out of Gaza now, Hizbullah winning in Lebanon is the way to peace in the Middle East.
