...President George W. Bush the devil, made no contribution to peace [Oct. 2]. Chávez tried to transform an important forum of debate into a circus. Maybe he thought that he was on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, or maybe he was trying to mimic Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who banged the lectern with his shoe in the same forum. Both leaders were disrespectful to the delegates, U.N. officials and the U.N. as an institution that represents our ultimate hope for peace.

The proximate cause of the most recent rioting, which left over a two hundred people injured and turned large sections of the capital city into a “battleground...
...Israeli-Palestinian peace process have given the Kremlin an opening to revive the strong ties the U.S.S.R. had with many Arab governments - which are glad for a counterweight to Bush. Last year Putin made the first journey to Cairo by a Russian head of state since Nikita Khrushchev's visit in 1964, just as President Hosni Mubarak was scrapping his annual trip to the White House.
