For Israelis, a nation of political junkies, the aftermath will be more fun than the campaign: there will be a fascinating dance as the various players wheel and backstab in search of a governing coalition.

And for the Obama Administration, Israel presents an even greater foreign policy challenge than before - especially if, as expected, Lieberman...
