Since the U.S. war on terrorism began a year ago, Ariel Sharon has not made life easy for George W. Bush. The Israeli leader's determination to retaliate for Palestinian suicide attacks with overwhelming, at times indiscriminate, force has infuriated Arab allies and fueled anti-American hatred among Muslims around the world. In spite of that, Bush has largely given Sharon a free pass - equating Israel's war against Palestinian terror with the U.S. struggle to defeat al-Qaeda. After the two leaders meet today in Washington, you'll likely see them shake hands and slap backs and hear renewed...
...feels right at home in Europe where, he says, gifted people aren't pigeonholed. America has experts, says Malkovich, but Europe can yield magisterial figures like the late Pier Paolo Pasolini, a political thinker, novelist and film director. Another inspiration: Jean-François Revel, whose bestselling book, The Anti-American Obsession, is only the latest reflection of the author's catholic interests from Proust to political philosophy.

"Throughout the area, Bush's policies are making people more anti-American," said a senior Gulf diplomat. The London-based Al Quds Al Arabi newspaper was even more strident: "Kuwait is supposed to be the safest and most loyal ally of the Americans. The fact that a group of Kuwaitis has attacked U.S. forces reflects a transformation of the great love...
...protest Bush’s push for war in a huge Central Park rally on Monday. The protesters are acting as the nation’s conscience; they remind us that any war will be costly in terms of both American and Iraqi lives. They remind us that the anti-American feeling that will inevitably be engendered throughout the Arab world will hurt America in the long term. They remind us that those passions may even inflame a broader war in the Middle East, which would be an unmitigated disaster...
