Barak says:
"Israel cannot be defeated militarily",
"...wants a proper peace",
"...is prepared to kill to protect its vital interests."

In the common vernacular, this translates to:

Israel is king of the hill - for now;
will accept only a peace dictated by Israel;
will kill anyone who stands in its way - for as long as it can.

Let`s see now. Napoleon lasted a few years, Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo perhaps a few more. And Stalin! Can`t forget Stalin! He was around for quite a while! But each of these built an empire! Like Bush wants to do. Can Tiny Israel do the same? Oh, well, one militarist government is as bad as another, I suppose - for as long as it lasts.

But for heavens sake, Barak has plagarized Bush`s favorite phrase: "vital interests"! He should be sued!
