I agree, but I do not mind what labels are attached to me.

I deplore almost every action of the Bush administration, but I am in no
way anti-American.

Condy says that the status quo ante is not an option, and she is right.
That was pretty calm compared to how things will settle down. But
although the Israeli government's contempt for world opinion is based on
that of Bush, neither will be there for long, and their influence on
world opinion is directly lessened. Worst, the hand of al-Qaeda is
equally strengthened, and we are all at risk from that.
