[MD] A President's blog

[ian glendinning]

Interesting,

There are clearly questions about motives, many different motives on
many levels, and a potential series of DMB's paranoid concerns, but I
have to agree that the guy is clearly shrewd and highly intelligent,
based on earlier interviews I've referenced.

That said, the statements he made about his plans for the future of
Israel are to say the least inflammatory, evil if taken literally. He
may be shrewd, but he seems prepared to play very high stakes, even
before the recent escalation to the nuclaer club. So dangerous, that
cool heads and dialogue seem essential.
