...That's right. This administration is the grandchild of Reagan's principle that government isn't the solution, it's the problem. Still, President Bush is in a bind, because he can no longer say the science is inconclusive. He can say that drastic actions to curb global warming could hurt the economy. It's certainly going to take a deft hand to steer the economy through the issue of climate change...
...must be remembered that recently, Arafat had made every effort to curb Husseini's influence. He was kept out of the last two years of negotiations. And it's easy to see why he might have caused unease among some potential rivals. He was highly respected by the international community as a man of ideas, a moderate, but also a nationalist.

But now that the intifada has eclipsed the peace process, his relevance is under threat. Already, a number of calls made by Arafat - under pressure from Washington - to curb Palestinian attacks have been ignored, even flouted, by his followers. Arafat may be politically unable to embrace a cease-fire if its terms make the sacrifices his intifada has demanded of ordinary Palestinians over the past eight months seem worthless. And while the Israelis constantly promise to ease the load...
