That has been the question for years, as one Administration after another has tried to deal with the problems posed by Iran, Iraq and North Korea. All three have at times survived as much isolation as the rest of the world could muster and still succeeded in stockpiling their weapons. And while Western diplomacy has brought somewhat better behavior--increased contact with Iran, easing of tensions on the Korean peninsula--it has not diminished each country's fervent search for weapons of mass destruction.

Since October he?s been chairman and CEO of recorded music at EMI, a venerable British label with a roster that includes the Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Radiohead. Despite those assets, the company?s market value of $3.5 billion is about 40% lower than a year ago.

But the apparent collapse of his most strenuous effort to date suggests that even if he can muster the political will to press the case, the Palestinian leader will find it increasingly difficult to impose it on the streets. Hamas derisively asks what Arafat has achieved for the Palestinians in exchange for the cease-fire, and even grassroots leaders of his own organization ostentatiously, and publicly, defy his exhortations. Indeed, it is worth noting that the Hadera...
