...Israel's destruction moderate once in office? Certainly discrepancies between the Hamas charter and its campaign platform suggest moderation is possible, as do initial Hamas statements supporting an extension of the current cease-fire with Israel. But Hamas will immediately face grave challenges such as a bankrupt treasury, nervous international donors and, most importantly, a decentralized security force and the fact that groups such as Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs brigades and Iranian-funded Islamic Jihad are well outside its control. How Hamas handles these three key issues will provide the best guide for whether we should expect moderation over...

But it doesn?t hurt for the rest of the county to occasionally be reminded that, a free Iraq notwithstanding, al Qaeda is still furiously plotting ways to bring the war back home...
Single sex schools have always made me nervous and I’m historically not a fan of female-only anything. Women slap, we slander, we’re backstabbing gossips—one episode of “The Bachelor” and you’d have to agree. But this penchant for petty drama isn’t a new phenomenon: from Bible stories to the Bennett family, women have battled over bloodlines and boyfriends, wardrobes and wedding dates. Ann Jones, the criminal profiler, once wrote, “The story of women who kill...
