...current deficit can be blamed on the recession that followed the burst bubble of the late 1990s and on the vital expenditures for a war that shows no sign of abating.

Washington sought to sidestep Qureia?s challenge, saying the new prime minister would be judged by the same standard Washington has used with Abbas - the extent to which he?s willing to crack down on Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other radical groups. But Qureia is no more likely than Abbas to launch a Palestinian civil war, and he?s insisting on Arafat?s rehabilitation as a precondition for new peace efforts...
