Israeli PM Ehud Olmert has
started showing grit, and is finally telling the international community what they need to hear.
"'I am a man of compromise,' he began. 'I have
conducted two negotiations in an effort to bring about compromise.
However, on one thing I cannot compromise, and that is the security of Israeli citizens...We cannot reach a compromise that would enable Hamas to fire at yet more cities and towns in Israel.'"
