...During that long day of remembrance, the President's only public engagement was at St. John's Church on Lafayette Square, across the street from the White House. A year ago, Bush spent 14 hours visiting all three sites of destruction and death--downtown Manhattan, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. He ended that pilgrimage with a speech at Ellis Island--the Statue of Liberty and the wounded New York City skyline providing a backdrop both poignant and uplifting.

His new prime minister-designate Ahmed Qureia warned this week that there could be no progress toward peace as long as the U.S. and Israel refused to acknowledge Arafat?s status as the elected president of the Palestinians. But the Israelis refuse to deal with Arafat or anyone mandated...
