Is there a New Republic cover jinx? Karol blames them- and me- for yesterday's terrorist attack in Israel. Guess that's the price I pay for being friends with Republicans :)
But let me be clear- declaring victory in Israel's war against terrorism doesn't mean there will be no more terrorism ever again. It does mean that Israel no longer needs to live in fear all the time, and that it's Hamas that's on the run and has to hide. As the TNR piece said, "terror that no longer paralyzes is no longer terror."
Freshly Insta-lanched Michael Totten has more.
