...Arafat is looking to regional peace-seeker Mubarak to help him find a negotiating posture that passes for dovish at the negotiating table and hawkish back at home, while Barak and Clinton wait...
...commentary "The Barak Paradox," Charles Krauthammer says the outbreak of violence in the Middle East is proof that the "dovish" approach advocated by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's government is painfully misguided [ESSAY, Oct. 23].

He really believes that we all could get along fine if only he were around to lead us in a big conflict-resolution workshop. He normally keeps that stuff under wraps, but it was on display last Tuesday in a mostly ad-libbed speech at a conference of government unions. "I want...
