...that Arab leaders perceived Israel’s restraint in 1991 as a weakness that undermined its ability to prevent enemy strikes. Saddam attacked Israel precisely because he knew it would not fight back. Miraculously, the Scuds that hit Tel Aviv directly killed only two Israelis, but Israel cannot depend on luck again—not when there are growing suspicions that Israel will be Saddam’s first target with his developing stockpile of biological and chemical weapons...
...based nanoscale catalyst that improves the efficiency of coal conversion and reduces the cost of producing clean transportation fuels. If the technology lives up to its promise and can economically transform coal into diesel fuel and gasoline, coal-rich countries such as the U.S., China and Germany could depend far less on imported oil. At the same time, acid-rain pollution would be reduced because the liquefaction strips coal of harmful sulfur. Given current world oil prices (about $27 per bbl.), turning coal into gas is economical in China. "A $4-to-$8-per-bbl. increase in the price...

In its place, eager to flex its own foreign policy muscles, the European Union is reasserting control. The consequences for the region depend in part on how quickly and completely the U.S. decides to leave and how soon Europe can overcome its historical rivalries to speak with one voice. Balkan leaders who waited in vain for Europe to intervene while Bosnia descended into chaos in the early 1990s don't believe the E.U. is ready...
