As Israel continues to mass troops on the Lebanese border, the chattering classes continue to debate the wars, both theirs and ours.

On the Left, Robert Kuttner says the President's Middle East policy is a failure. He calls the Administration a bunch of incompetents. On the Right, Victor Davis Hanson says just the opposite, that the policy is a success. We report, you decide.

Bill Kristol thinks the President is the "strong horse", while David Gelernter wonders why American Jews are so wrong about Israel.

Count me in with Ralph Peters, who thinks the Israelis are in danger of losing their war. Someday, the West will wake up and realize that limited wars are a losing proposition. Someday, after sufficient provocation, we will fight the war the way we have in the past against Fascism, and then we will win. Unfortunately, the longer we try to prevent that necessity, the bloodier it will need to be in the end.
