Israel's Costs and Rewards

Middle East Crisis:

Israel's Costs and Rewards

A spiral of violence has stymied peace in the Middle East for decades. Now, as bombs are being dropped on Beirut, rockets fired at Haifa and tanks sent into Gaza, Israel and Muslim extremists have brought the region to the brink of all out war. And the Israelis are beingconfronted by the wreckage of their own security policies.

And it was all so predictable.

How can it end?

Unless the United Nations stands and delivers, it will fail just as it has done so miserably in Bosnia and Darfur.
