Israel will hold early elections in three months:

Do you think that the fact the elections will be held early will contribute to more instability and discord in the area, or do you think it will contribute to the prospects for peace?

Think this will affect any military action toward Iraq on the part of the U.S.?

Truthfully, I am happy I live in a country where my government serves for a fixed period of time--and there is no such thing as early elections. But I am sure that those who live elsewhere feel differently about this sort of thing.

Right now I'm on my way out to vote--it's Election Day here. I hope that everyone else here, who can, also votes today.
