Israel reminiscent of Yugoslavia

Vojislav Bercko compares the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel with the innumerable ceasefire agreements signed during the war in the former Yugoslavia. "[The ceasefire] has little chance of lasting. But in contrast to the 18 accords signed during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this agreement has a political patron that Bosnia and Herzegovina never had: US president George W. Bush. ... George W. Bush - responsible for two wars that still rage today, one in Afghanistan and an even worse one in Iraq - has the morbid desire to see at least one successful peace initiative written into his biography. Inevitably one gets the feeling that Israel, which is now confronting a serious domestic political crisis and on top of that receives billions in US aid each year, has made this possible for Bush by accepting the ceasefire with Hamas."
