Gaza may prove a pyrrhic victory
Mail & Guardian, Jonathan Freeland
But there is a massive risk here. Such a victory will not just achieve Cast Lead's original stated aim, namely altering Hamas's calculus -- reducing its incentive to fire rockets at civilian targets inside Israel -- but could topple the Hamas government altogether.

Hot Spots: Zimbabwe
WSJ, JOSHUA KURLANTZICK
In 2009, the conflict between Mr. Mugabe and the MDC will only deteriorate.
Rather than simply launching new UN sanctions, sure to be vetoed by China, or condemning Mr. Mugabe, the international community needs to take advantage of the rise of Mr. Zuma, still mistrusted by many Western nations for his populist leanings. The international community should push Mr. Mbeki to step aside as mediator in Zimbabwe and have him replaced with Mr. Zuma, who'd be much more likely to pressure Mr. Mugabe.
