...stalked a corridor of the Jerusalem Hyatt hotel early last Wednesday morning. There they killed Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi with two bullets--one through the eye, the other in the neck. It was the first time in the country's history that Palestinians had assassinated an Israeli Cabinet minister. Ze'evi's enraged Cabinet colleagues accused Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat of encouraging attacks on Israelis and sent Israeli troops deep into Palestinian towns, bombarding the neighborhoods gunmen use as cover and killing six Palestinians, including an 11-year-old girl...
...human condition; the rational practice of international politics is always at the mercy of the irrational, of people (or nations) with a passionate sense of the rightness of their cause and the perfidy of their enemies. Bush was reminded of that twice last week. Rehavam Ze'evi, an Israeli Cabinet minister, was assassinated by Palestinian gunmen, an act to which Prime Minister Ariel Sharon reacted as if it were the attacks on Washington and New York City.

But the army doesn't believe...
...Army sources say that Malka's criticism of the cabinet's plans for a gradual withdrawal from the Palestinian towns was probably coordinated with Mofaz and was intended to pressure Sharon not to pull the troops out. The chief of staff can't make a statement like that right now; two weeks ago, he was dressed down by Sharon for criticizing the government's instructions to the army in a press release. But army discontent with the politicians is growing. Sharon's circle believe Mofaz, whose terms as army chief ends next summer, is buffing his tough guy image...
...Century. The report called for a Homeland Security Agency to coordinate the security and intelligence efforts of the 40 agencies with a hand in our national safety. Because the authors recognized that it would take years to make headway into the problem, they suggested that the director hold a cabinet-level appointment in order to preserve the Office’s influence on future administrations...
