...tough on globalization. Illegal immigration has supplanted terrorism on the list of concerns for the American right. And at the party's grass roots, voters are turning hard against free trade. Last fall a Wall Street Journal poll found that nearly twice as many Republicans think trade deals hurt as think they help...

The report blamed the politicians and the top brass of "equivocation" which "hurt Israel" by dithering over whether to launch the ground attack or seek a political end the war. Nevertheless, the report stated: "The goals of the ground operation were legitimate." That was a great relief to Olmert...
