I read the verses that deal with...
Finally, the article describes the agreement as to a general lack of good information in the U.S. about the history and greater significance of this most recent conflagration. This lack of good information demonstrates itself in the following paragraph, which mentions Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount accompanied by several hundred armed police officers--accompanied by a handful of bodyguards would have been more accurate...
