Interesting - the head of Labor is apparently pushing for a major military offensive on the ground in Lebanon, and the head of Likud (oh, sorry Kadima - most of what used to be Likud) is reluctant to push that. A nice reminder than when it comes to world politics a lot of our heuristics (oh the leftist party MUST want smaller military moves than the successor to Jabotinsky) are merely that, and won't necessarily with with expected behaviors 100% of the time. But I guess why I think it's really interesting is the contrast to 1982. But then Olmert's not Begin and Peretz isn't Peres.
