...officials have in recent weeks been locked in intense negotiations with leaders of groups undertaking terror attacks in the hope of persuading them to accept a unilateral cease-fire. It's been a tough sell, and any progress was dashed by the Gaza air strike. Given the political outlook of Hamas, in particular, any cease-fire would necessarily be a temporary tactical choice, undertaken principally to avoid forcing the PA into a head-to-head fight and to protect Hamas's position in the wider Arab world. But the Gaza strike suspended even that discussion. Israel had also been...
...reason for this is the FDP's image as &(e)acute;litist. In the current campaign, for example, the party says it favors repeal of Germany's strong law against wrongful dismissal, a proposal that even Stoiber, the conservative premier of Bavaria, is against.

Arab populations are growing, economies are shrinking, and the authoritarian religious and political culture leaves the citizenry prone to direct its rage towards the West rather than at the leaders who have failed them. That's why, despite the support from Arab regimes and their intelligence services for the U.S. campaign against Bin Laden's network, the Arab world remains fertile ground for recruiting al-Qaeda members...
