When it comes to Israel, why is the liberal position always that Israel must give in to what useless organizations like the U.N. want, which is for Israel to basically quit defending itself, and now to sit down and talk with its neighbors? This is aptly demonstrated again today by the Fish Wrapper editors in their editorial Gaza chaos drives peace hopes backward. In a piece that is mostly about how the U.S. must find "some way" to negotiate peace in Gaza, the DFW editors continue to pound two points from the now-seen-as-useless Iraq Study Group report.

The report of the Iraq Study Group was released this past week (December 6th), and predictably, The Fish Wrapper editors were quick to jump on the bandwagon of the report, while choosing to ignore the consequences of following the recommendations.

I have not read the report in it's entirety yet, but there are two recommendations that have been widely reported that if acted on, would hasten absolute failure faster than anything else.
