Less than two months ago, Sharon decided to leave the conservative Likud party, which he himself had founded some 30 years earlier. He proceeded to establish a new party named Kadima, which in Hebrew means “forward.” And indeed, we Israelis felt that this was the direction in which he was leading us. Even Shimon Peres, our elder statesmen and the father of the peace camp, left his Labor party to join Kadima. As the head of his new party, Sharon asked the public for a final four years to make peace. And the public...
...that led to his removal couldn't have been so bad. The big mistake was that the Administration did not have a plan for the war.

In the White House version of how that struggle...
Before heading to Congress, Republican J.D. Hayworth of Arizona was a sportscaster with a signature home-run call: "It's vapor!" Now the conservative Hayworth, 47, is making a similar charge about President Bush's plan to tighten the border with Mexico and establish a limited guest-worker program. He is about to publish an anti-immigration manifesto, Whatever It Takes, that should rile up right-wing radio just as the White House was hoping to gain traction for a broad immigration-reform package...
