...Calculator every time he makes a move," says a senior Palestinian official. And yet, since taking over from Arafat, Abbas has shown a more daring side. He has impressed aides and foreign diplomats with his guts and discipline.

But don't ask for a Condoleezza Rice apology in return. No apology ought to or will be given. The U.S. may not be the world's most artful liberator. But it is hard to think of a more sincere one. Ask the 8 million Iraqis who for the first time in their lives enjoyed that singular democratic experience: the free and secret ballot...
