...Anderson's liberal policies are causing screeches in the conservative state legislature. He champions the Kyoto treaty on greenhouse gas emissions, anathema to conservatives. He blocked plans for a megamall on the outskirts of the city, tirelessly campaigns for enlarging the mass-transit network and has put out hundreds of red flags at street crossings for pedestrians to carry, making them easier to spot by drivers. He was outspoken in the fight-which he won-to have beer served at Olympic events...
Though Arafat once had solid ties with Iran, the Islamic regime turned its back on him in 1993 when he signed the Oslo peace accord with Israel, which Tehran regards as anathema. Iran focused its attentions instead on Hizballah, which for years fought Israeli soldiers occupying southern Lebanon. That battle lost its ferocity in May 2000, when Israel pulled out of Lebanon.

Then, early last year, Iran organized...

...Israeli military reporting a sharp decline in violent incidents since Arafat's speech three weeks ago calling on Palestinians to cease firing, pressure had begun to mount on the Israeli leader to lift his siege of Palestinian areas, freeze settlement activities and move towards renewed negotiations - a scenario anathema to Sharon and his own political base. Now, with the help of some Palestinian arms smugglers and Hamas insurgents, he has managed to nimbly shift the onus back on to Arafat...
