Hunker Down With History

No offense guys, but I would prefer to actually read the column by Richard Cohen rather than read a critique of it by Fox News. So here it is, from the Washington Post. I would suggest that BP readers actually read it. "We Report, You Decide (TM)" isn't nearly as interesting as 'you read, you decide.' Just a thought, folks.

The greatest mistake Israel could make at the moment is to forget that Israel itself is a mistake. It is an honest mistake, a well-intentioned mistake, a mistake for which no one is culpable, but the idea of creating a nation of European Jews in an area of Arab Muslims (and some Christians) has produced a century of warfare and terrorism of the sort we are seeing now. Israel fights Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south, but its most formidable enemy is history itself.
