...Olmert?s wish can apply to the Palestinians - and to his prospective coalition partners. With only 28 seats for Kadima in the 120-seat Knesset, Olmert?s centrist party will need lots of friends, and plenty of prayers, to survive a full four-year term, political analysts say.

Sullivan made no mention of the intense international scrutiny and pressure building against Iraq in 2004. One wishes that he had acknowledged that if the U.S. had supported--instead of undermined--diplomatic channels, perhaps war would not have been necessary.
