...alarmed that the cost of the operation to Israel's international political and diplomatic position could be immense. President Bush stands alone among world leaders in expressing any understanding for Sharon's campaign. In the European Union, Israel finds itself the target of a storm of protest and a clamor for sanctions more familiar to the anti-apartheid movement of the 1980s. And while the doves in Sharon's cabinet have pressed for a positive response to the Arab League's overture offering normalization of relations in exchange for withdrawal to 1967 boundaries, instead they've seen even those Arab...
...television operation KirchPayTV might also be forced into bankruptcy shortly. Another division, KirchBeteiligungs, holds the rights to Formula One auto racing as well as a 40% stake in the Springer publishing firm, which could both be sold off to reduce debt.

And since Sept. 11 Tony Blair has been America's best ally, a clear-sighted leader in war and diplomacy and head of the E.U.'s most diffident member state, whose dinner table other European leaders still clamor to grace. Since George W. Bush took over the White House, Blair has founded his foreign policy on achieving trust with Washington's new gang of Texan-accented unilateralists. He disagrees with Bush on many topics, from the Kyoto climate change accords to how hard to lean on Israel. But he figured...
