...includes, for instance, Ariel Dorfman, author of Death and the Maiden, a tale of state-sponsored, U.S.-backed torture and terror in Latin America. Born outside the United States but living now in North Carolina (the state where I was born), Dorfman confronts the accidental fact that a democratically elected government in Chile was toppled on September 11, 1973, a Tuesday, like September 11, 2001. In Dorfmans view, the recent attack against the United States, in which thousands have disappeared, recalls an attack supported by the United States against Chile, in which thousands also disappeared. This latter attack is hardly...
...surprising, then, that the requirements of coalition building spurred the Bush administration over the last week to knock Israeli and Palestinian heads together. Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat were told in no uncertain terms that the game had changed, and that both sides would face the wrath of the international community unless they do more to forge a cease-fire.

Oh, and the Pope's anti-birth control stand is just a little much, don't you think? Or maybe we should just sit down and try to work out our differences. That is what Krauthammer should be writing about. JAMES MILLS Hanover...
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s office maintained that Mansour and Salim “were in the process of planning further terrorist attacks,” and therefore the preventive measures were justified. The Israeli government clearly felt no ethical ambiguity in risking collateral damage, for the Hamas leaders had been responsible for murders in the past and would surely have continued their evil ways in the future...
