I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Likud getting that balance just so Ariel Sharon beat the considerably more hardline Benjamin Netanyahu for the Likud leadership a couple of weeks ago. However, it appears that Netanyahu's associates did perhaps surprisingly well in the Likud primaries for the Knesset.
Likud members seem to be striking a nuanced chord. They left the more moderate Sharon for their top representative, but are backing him up with somewhat more hardline support. If folks don't want to play nice, the pressure will be for Sharon to be tougher rather than more gently.
This will only be further reinforced since the Likud are expected to pick up strength relative to the other parties in the general election. Overall then, this appears to indicate a moderate ratcheting up of Israeli toughness.
