...enlightening and logical in spite of the "never-ending" religious family feud in that city. Armstrong, in her history of Jerusalem, rightly says true holiness never triumphed in the Holy City. The best solution to the dispute over which religion shall reign is a three-seat throne overseen by NATO. In addition to monitoring the government, NATO could provide peacekeeping troops that would be charged with guarding the ruins of the Temple, just in case soldiers of one religion tried to rebuild it overnight.

Nothing has been more decisive in resurrecting communism as the main political force in Russia than the West's incapacity to allow Russians to keep their national pride. Efforts to expand nato membership eastward, minimizing Russia's voice in world affairs and backing Yeltsin on every issue, are slowly paving the road for Zyuganov's victory. He will appeal to his countrymen's self-esteem and empty pockets, and to what remains of the Soviet totalitarian regime.

...chicken and Milosevic never delivers Karadzic? Short of renewed fighting, elections will go ahead no matter what, says the head of OSCE in Bosnia, Ambassador Robert Frowick. But with Karadzic still pulling the strings, Clinton would find it increasingly difficult to explain his fear of using the 60,000 NATO troops on the ground to remove him. By the end of the week, in fact, NATO said its forces in Bosnia would be redeployed to limit Karadzic's and Mladic's movements--and therefore their ability to wield power. With his own election to think of, perhaps Clinton will finally...
