The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

And what benefit to Israel or its allies has appeasement brought? Zip. Rockets raining on civilians. |

Doesn't a country have the right to declare its own capital? Should other nations not abide by the declaration? Why is this so hard? I'm glad Ambassador Haley took notes...and names. |

Bach... What's the sentiment in Israel about this stuff? What's the feeling about the UN resolution? |

i think if the Palestinians had a good case for a settlement now would be an incredible time to put it forward. The UN has provided a couple of times now about as much tail wind as they can. |

I think I've mentioned previously, this thing seems to be getting more play in the US then here. I think most Israelis consider Jerusalem the Capitol long before last week. And most Israelis don't take the UN very seriously, when the most repressive nations on earth can sit in moral judgment over others. We r just waiting for the storm to die out (it will) and soon enough another storm will take its place. In the meantime, people just sort of keep on living.

I am pleased that Canada abstained from voting. The resolution simply was not worth the diplomatic effort. As a result we earned an invitation to schmooze at Ambassador Haley's Friendship Reception. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/nikki-haley-jerusalem-party-blanchard-1.4462707 |

Very good piece. Thanks. Nice to see something that doesn't serve to define the area as armed camps. |
