I would argue that the benefits of drawing the

The French vessel, called Dignite El Karameh, left Greece
The presence of the U.S. Boat to Gaza in Athens is winding down.

Netanyahu looked very happy the other day: he got Papandreou to do Israel’s bidding and the outrageous sight of Greek Coast Guard commandos intercepting the Audacity of Hope in the Mediterranean waters clearly made the Israelis very happy.

Okay, maybe there is another Libyan opposition. But this is the one I see, and this one makes me sick in my gut. Take a look at them, and judge for yourself: Judging from the two characters representing the “opposition” on this show it is quite clear that these folks have no problems with the idea of turning Libya into another Kosovo or Bosnia. It really does not matter to
