...divisions tearing apart this tiny country. Those divisions have steadily widened since last year's monthlong war. Then, Hizballah's leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, was the toast of the Arab street, after fighting the Israeli army to a standstill. Hizballah soon came under intense domestic and international pressure to disarm, but it has managed to replenish its arsenal with the aid of its patrons, Iran and Syria, according to Lebanese officials and Hizballah members. There is some evidence, too, that Hizballah may be sharing its skills with Shi'ite insurgents in Iraq. U.S. military officials have claimed that in March...

HAVEN'T TENSIONS OVER IRAQ POISONED TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONSHIPS? I repeat: Iraq must be disarmed, and for that it must cooperate more than it does now. If we disarm Iraq, the goal set by the Americans will have been fulfilled. And if we do that, there can be no doubt that it will be due in large part to the presence of American forces on the spot. If there hadn't been U.S. soldiers present, Saddam might not have agreed to play the game. If we go through with the inspections, the Americans will have won, since it would essentially...
