Pullout Potential

From the editors of National Review:

The pictures from Gaza are wrenching: children crying and trying to push away the Israeli soldiers — some of them also in tears — who have arrived to chase them from their homes. On the other hand, they are heartening too. This is a civilized, democratic society at work. Prime Minister Sharon's decision to pull out of Gaza represents the lawful will of the Israeli majority, and it will not be frustrated by a minority, no matter how passionate or committed.
