Monday's retreat signals mounting panic in the ranks of the SLA, which effectively has been put on notice that their protector will be leaving town. More troubling for Israel is that neither Syria nor Lebanon -- neither of whom are fans of the Hezbollah -- is in any rush to fill the resulting security vacuum. There's little enthusiasm in Beirut for helping the Israelis out of what is perceived as a mess of their own making. And any security deal would have to be approved by Syria, which holds a de facto military veto power over the decisions...
...your spare time than ever before. You can get e-mail alerts about it. You can chat about it with others. You can get comfortable with the fundamentals as never before.

(Despite earlier claims about Prozac and attempts to link Luvox to the Colorado school shootings, there is no evidence that SSRIs themselves cause violent behavior.) Although the FDA hasn't approved all these uses for all the drugs, doctors are free to prescribe them for anything they...
