...stage was set. Everyone was fixated on the surprising underdog Cole and his increasing pace. With each turn, Cole closed in on Vendt and the PA announcer even got in on the drama, yelling, “Does John Cole have time to catch Vendt?” with each passing leg of the race...
...PA and Arafat have not just limited their support of terrorism to words of incitement and encouragement. During U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni’s last peace mission, Israel captured an Iranian ship, replete with weapons, that was destined for the Palestinians. Despite their steadfast claims of ignorance, Arafat and his government knew about the ship and its contents. President George Bush acknowledged Palestinian culpability Jan. 25, stating “Ordering up weapons that were intercepted on a boat headed for that part of the world is not part of fighting terror...that’s enhancing terror...
...them, a government that claims to want peace and yet organizes violent uprisings to upset the peace process, a government which uses every means at its disposal to enhance terrorism while publicly disavowing terror as a tool for its cause.

Israel’s military operations, which have...
There are roughly six million people in Israel, and 418 Israelis have been killed in terrorist attacks since the PA-backed Palestinian uprising began in September 2000. To put this death toll in perspective, in proportion to Israel’s size, this is the rough equivalent of seven attacks of the magnitude of the World Trade Center (in which about 3000 people died). The U.N. can condemn Israel’s military operations and targeted killings, but it is too easy to condemn from afar. If Israel wishes to protect its citizens, it must act with lethal force...
