...grim scenes of all-out war in the West Bank seemed to have a particularly depressing impact in Washington and Crawford, Texas. After months on the sidelines, the Bush Administration recently tiptoed into the peacemaking fray--to contain the combat between the Israelis and Palestinians but also to try to assuage Arab resistance to a U.S. military campaign against Iraq. Palestinian and Israeli sources told TIME that both Sharon and Arafat called Secretary of State Colin Powell as Israel mobilized its forces last Friday.

On Dec. 20, U.S. planes rocketed a convoy of tribal elders going to Kabul for the swearing-in ceremony of Afghan leader Hamid Karza and then chased the fleeing tribesmen into a village, killing 60, say locals. On Feb. 4, a Predator drone fired a Hellfire missile at a man who U.S. Central Command thought might be bin Laden. Villagers say the dead...
