...Bias Against China? Like other western journalists, Simon Elegant tries to attribute the anti-Western protests in China to xenophobia [May 5]. But he fails to explain why people in the U.S. and other countries share the Chinese people's outrage.

But until last week Hizballah, which was born as an Islamic resistance group during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, had said it would never use its weapons against fellow Lebanese. But when the Lebanese government moved to close a private Hizballah telecommunications network used for coordinating military operations, Nasrallah declared it an act of war. Hizballah fighters swung into action, shocking the nation...
