...years imprisonment in the case last July; those judgments have been appealed. Given the troubling alliances he has divined in Pakistan, Lévy believes the Western world is arguing about the wrong issues and missing its main adversary. "The war in Iraq was morally justified, but politically inept," he says. "America chose the wrong target." Washington's continued coddling of the Islamabad government should end, he believes; it is to Pakistan that arms inspectors should be dispatched to head off any technological transfer from the government to radical Islamic groups.

There is certainly a strong reform movement in Palestinian society that seeks to be rid of the corrupt and inept administration of Yasser Arafat. But its strongest element has been the West Bank and Gaza militants who waged the first intifada from 1987 to 1991; were sidelined as Arafat and his coterie of Tunis-based exiles took over following the Oslo agreements; and then launched the second intifada when Oslo...
