...into Israel be different from that between the U.S. and Canada, for instance? Hamad also took issue with the Israeli security wall but failed to mention that it was built to stop suicide bombers from crossing and snipers from shooting into Jerusalem. When I was stationed in Bethlehem, the Christian population was thriving, and tourists arrived by the busload all year round. We need to ask what the difference is between then and now. Aron B.

Behind John McCain's turnaround: Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who endorsed the Arizona Senator after ending his own presidential campaign. The case Brownback is making to James Dobson and others is that McCain's anti-abortion record, foreign policy credentials and electability deserve a second look...
