...Middle East policy back in the direction of the hawks skeptical of renewed engagement with Yasser Arafat. Whereas Powell had responded to Wednesday's suicide bombing that killed nine people in Haifa by saying the event underscored the importance of his peace mission, President Bush Friday demanded that Arafat condemn the latest outrage, and Secretary Powell dutifully postponed his scheduled Saturday meeting with the Palestinian leader...
...legitimacy, but the terms of Abdullah's proposal remain unacceptable to Israel: Sharon has no intention of giving back all the occupied territories, and the Israelis reject the idea that Palestinian refugees have the right to return to Israel proper.

If Israel wishes to protect its citizens, it must act with lethal force to stop those planning to use lethal force against it. I would like to ask those critical of Israel to think...
