WAR SENSE
I'm still busy with work, posting very quickly from out of town. Scanning the news on Friday morning, my "war sense" indicates a slight retreat from the red line. The lack of significant escalation in the last 12 hours or so, the Saudi signal that they see this as Hizbollah's fight and not their business, Syria's deafening silence, the defeat of the anti-Israeli UN resolution ... all seem to point away from the current crisis slipping into general war in the Middle East.
With any luck, this may well turn out to be a chance for Israel to smack Hizbollah down (but not out), and things will slowly return to the usual simmering violence in the Middle East.
