...variety of the functional guy, but in a much more intense way. You are at a really vulnerable, pained spot in life and he steps in to help you put your life back together. So he's talking to your divorce lawyer, helping you figure out the settlement, reading the documents, making sure you get to the doctor, helping you figure out the kids. Your kids are acting out and he's there disciplining the kids or talking about what he might do. Helping you because you're injured...

Pointing to the 1,300 Palestinians killed and $2 billion worth of damage to homes and infrastructure, Hamas' allies say the camp of Arab moderates has been thoroughly discredited. Calls for peace with Israel have never sounded so hollow, they say. "The settlement process [between Arabs and Israel] is gone," Nawaf Mussawi, Hizballah's chief of international relations, told TIME. "The resistance [against Israel] has become the mecca of everyone in the region." (See pictures of Israel's deadly assault on Gaza...
