Written one week ago, before the Israeli cease-fire and withdrawal (which was completed today): On War #288: Israel Doesn’t Get 4GW, by William Lind

Is the 4GW way of thinking of things the best representation of political reality? Perhaps not, but I find myself using the model more and more, and could have written parts of Lind's piece. A good thing or a bad thing?

How will Obama handle Afghanistan and Pakistan? And will he say anything about Israel this week?
