In her constant search for more criminal methods of defending herself Israel has now deployed this: Israel has announced the successful testing of its Iron Dome anti-missile system, said to be capable of intercepting rockets launched by militants in Gaza and South Lebanon.

Fareed Zakaria: The costs of the Iraq war have been great and perhaps indefensible. We now have a perhaps. But Iraq could still turn out to be an extraordinary model for the Arab world. Its people are negotiating their differences for the most part peacefully; its politics is becoming more pluralistic and democratic; its press is free; its provinces have autonomy; its focus has shifted to business and wealth creation, not religion and jihad. At a conference in Baghdad last Octobe...
