...strategic interests. Claiming that Israel could “ignore the Palestinian problem” if it chose to do so, he emphasized that the most significant threat to Israel comes from Iran, whose president recently called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” Following his talk, Dershowitz opened the floor to questions. Answering questions on U.S.-Iranian relations, political barriers to peace, and international law, Dershowitz again emphasized the benefit of rational discussion of the conflict, something he said is absent from many campuses. “Thank God Israel only...

Enter Peter Okaalet, 52, a physician who decided in the late 1980s to go to seminary in an attempt to bridge the gap. From his base in Nairobi, where he serves as Africa director for a Christian medical-assistance group called MAP International, Okaalet has spent the past 12 years working with ministers--and by extension their congregations--to refine and in some cases redefine their response to AIDS. To that end he has run countless seminars in Kenya and elsewhere and helped establish master's degree programs in pastoral care and HIV/AIDS at 14 seminaries and Bible colleges...

...example, Okaalet recalls a ministers' workshop that MAP organized in Zambia. The leader was a dynamic young woman named Bridget who was HIV positive but didn't reveal her status at first. Toward the end of the program, after she had reviewed how HIV is spread, she told the participants that she was infected. "They were shocked," Okaalet says. "She didn't look like somebody with HIV." They were even more stunned to learn that she contracted HIV from her husband, who was a minister, and that he became infected after having sex with a woman he knew had AIDS...

...anyone who has been trying to follow the bewildering saga of Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, Joseph Wilson and his wife CIA officer Valerie Plame, Fitzgerald's indictment is a helpful road map. After months of confusion, the indictment provides the most concrete evidence yet of a war between the Veep's office and the CIA--a war about a war--and the lengths Libby and his colleagues were willing to go to squelch any criticism of the Administration's prewar behavior. Libby was a Vulcan,* one of the Bush team hard-liners, along with former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz...

...focused on domestic rather than international issues. But last week, Ahmadinejad stunned diplomats with the sort of outburst expected from a terrorist, not a President. At a conference in Tehran called "The World Without Zionism," Ahmadinejad told 4,000 students that "Israel must be wiped off the map." Afterwards, he joined 30,000 Iranians in an anti-Israel march through Tehran. Weaving among the demonstrators were dozens of young men outfitted with fake suicide belts, like those worn for "martyrdom operations" of the type radical Palestinians have carried out repeatedly against Israeli civilians. Other protesters carried placards with hate speech...
