Haaretz - Israel News - Search Results: "One rainy day Yitzhak Rabin explained to me, as a prime minister and as a friend, why he had to look for every possible crack that would allow a settlement with Israel's neighbors. 'It is impossible to stretch the muscles and the nerves of a nation for so many years. Sooner or later they become lax,' he said, and added: 'The Israel Defense Forces is a good army, all in all, but even the best army's strength is limited and its staying power is liable to decline, and it must not be subjected to too many tests, certainly not unnecessary ones.'
