...both sides in the conflict, citing the day's terror attack in Jerusalem as further reason for why the Israelis are hesitant to make a deal while noting the economic plight of the Palestinians that only exacerbates the situation. "It's difficult for either side to make the bold move that would bring about peace," said Obama. "There's a tendency for each side to focus on the faults of the other rather than look in the mirror...
...might fare on the world stage. That was the promise in making such a high-profile tour in the middle of a tight presidential contest, but there was some risk, too: the danger of a gaffe or, perhaps worse, that voters would see the foreign swing not as an bold audition but as a supreme act of presumption.

Just as the war appeared to be winding down, Chinese armies poured across the Yalu River, once again reversing the tide. They too were pushed back, but MacArthur...
...clear just how much Gore wants us to shift, and how quickly. Speaking in Washington on July 17, Gore called on Americans to completely abandon electricity generated by fossil fuels within 10 years, and replace them with carbon-free renewables like solar, wind and geothermal. It is a bold plan, almost to the point of folly. But at the very least, it's one that certainly matches the scale of his rhetoric. "The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk," he said. "The future of human civilization is at stake...
