...very few people in Sderot - and in all of Israel, for that matter - who opposed the 22-day offensive into Gaza, which ended on Jan. 18 in the shakiest of cease-fires. Lately, Zion has rarely gone out. When she did leave home, she was often forced to dive into the bunker of her suburban house - Sderot was hammered by 203 rockets during the fighting. And if, despite the risks, she got to Sderot's flag-festooned marketplace, she was often cursed for loving the enemy in a time of war. "I understand their anger and feelings of revenge after...

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has a history of exploiting his nation's vast energy supplies as a political weapon. The dive in energy prices over the past six months has hurt Russia, but it has not killed Moscow's desire to be a regional player.
