But the need to maintain Israeli security has compelled some observers to rethink how an Israeli withdrawal from the region should be handled. Dennis Ross, Middle East envoy for Presidents George H.W. Bush and Clinton, criticizes the way Israel left Gaza last year. "The withdrawal," says Ross, "should not have taken place unless the Palestinians were going to create the security force to ensure security on their side, so that there weren't attacks out of Gaza into Israel."

Maybe our abundant resources have spoiled us into thinking that affluence is more attractive than health. Rather than maintain a physique that could outrun a lion, we showcase our ability to outspend a monarch. And our tokens of wealth—expensive, designer clothes—are best displayed on skinny, sickly-looking bodies. I couldn’t blame Europeans for looking wealthy. But nothing changes the fact...
