Disengagement Watch

The Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip has begun. Hopefully I'll have time to say something substantive later, but for now I'll refer you to Jonathan Edelstein (see main page as well) and Lisa for their insights.

There is one reaction I do have now: Egypt gave me just enough taste for being around interesting events instead of just reading about them that I wish this were happening a year from now when I hope to actually be in Israel. Of course something else will probably happen then - the Israelis are usually doing something interesting.
