...contest of wills between Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyr's brigade, on the one hand, and the Israeli Defense Force on the other. The Palestinians know they have been atrociously led by Arafat, but that doesn't make them any more forgiving of Israel and the U.S. Their despair is at an all-time high, meaning that the likes of Hamas are unlikely to struggle to find volunteers for new suicide missions.

At the end of last season, all the Quaker fans were decrying the loss of Ivy Player of the Year quarterback Mike Mitchell, yet few if any showed the same despair over the loss of Ivy first-team place kicker Peter Veldman.
