Such failings may have been forgiven if Arafat had been able to deliver in the political arena. But after 33 years in power, all Arafat could bring the Palestinian people were an ambiguous set of treaties known as the Oslo Accords. Hailed in the West as a breakthrough, the Oslo Accords--which reaped Nobel Peace Prizes for Arafat and his Israeli counterparts--left the Palestinians worse off than ever before. The agreements virtually conceded that Palestinian refugees would give up their internationally-recognized human right to return to their homes--the right for which they had been fighting since...
...Sharon's messengers. The Sharon "security process" will probably aim to ink another interim accord and leave the issues that toppled Barak for much, much later. Says Gold: "To continue with the old diplomatic approach would be like hammering square pegs into round holes." Sharon might be forgiven for thinking of his coalition in the same way.

...What we have been doing is reporting aircrafts that are down, as in they can't fly, as being up, as in full-mission capable," the letter alleges. Given the risk to Marine lives and careers posed by the lies, one could be forgiven for assuming that they helped the corps' only V-22 squadron achieve the Marine requirement that the V-22 be ready to fly 75 percent of the time. Far from it. A recent outside review, apparently incorporating the misleading data, said the V-22s were full prepared for their missions only 20 percent of the time...
