As we've recently been reminded, Israel is the only truly democratic regime in the region, and therefore the most stable. But, we are told, if we were only more conciliatory to corrupt dictatorial regimes and more sympathetic to the "Arab street," the region would be more stable. (Ironically, this is very close to Israel's own position, no doubt because it will take any peace it can get.)
Israel sure has a strange way of trying to get "any peace it can get" and of showing its respect for democracy by its treatment of the Palestinians.
Will Rogers defined an 'expert' as anyone who's more than fifty miles from home. He's still right.
