...Israel's new government is making the Obama team anxious, it's nothing compared with the government that could be coming together next door in the Palestinian territories - where President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah party may join hands with the Islamist militants of Hamas. That's a problem, since the U.S. won't have anything to do with Hamas or any government in which it takes part. A few months ago, when Hamas was at odds with Abbas and at war with Israel, that was an easy position to take. But now it's becoming harder. And sooner...
...Cape Town. Many Iraqis still point to the years before the U.S. invasion, when Baghdad had a reputation for some of the safest streets in the Arab world.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, running for re-election in June, first made international headlines four years ago by calling for the Jewish state to be "wiped off the map." Last week at a U.N. gathering, he denounced Zionism as a manifestation of racism. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon publicly reprimanded Ahmadinejad for that outburst. So it came as a surprise Sunday when Ahmadinejad told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, in effect, that the Islamic republic would recognize the state of Israel - if the Palestinians signed a two-state peace deal with Israel...
