...Middle East: a stable territory run by a secular leadership committed to economic and political reform and sitting on a huge pool of oil. On the other hand, it is tiny and landlocked, uncomfortably attached to a war-ravaged nation and surrounded by unfriendly neighbors.

...white-and-black Palestinian flag on a makeshift pole flies from the mosque in the distance. Now one sees the young Palestinian, wrapped in a dense, irrational thunder, walking up the road. His legs move like scissors, stiffly; his body is jolted with anger. His eyes, looking inward and outward simultaneously, are sightless with rage.
