...stashed away an estimated $3 billion of his personal wealth in Syrian government--controlled banks, as TIME recently reported. Now an additional cache of hidden funds is vexing Iraqi officials--and, if their irritation is any measure, the issue could put Iraq on a diplomatic collision course with its Arab neighbors...
...equally sad to see SAS supporting a man like Jubran. As a member of Harvard Students for Israel (HSI), I have seen first-hand the effort students in that group have put into working towards reconciliation. Students for Israel has participated in dialogues and other events with Arab groups on campus in the spirit that we are obligated to seek a solution other than continued violence and hate.

But one dimension of the financial story mostly overlooked is the political implication of the fact that most of the donor pledges corralled by the U.S. last week came in the form of loans and loan-guarantees. Washington had already acceded to the reality that nobody outside its "coalition of the willing" is going to provide funds to be managed directly by U.S. viceroy Paul Bremer, so a separate fund was created under the supervision...
