...have a role in Iraq? The world view espoused by neoconservatives such as Rumsfeld--in which the Pentagon would slam the door on the U.N., Britain, the State Department and anyone else who has a problem with their messianic aspirations--will lead us down a path to chaos and ruin. More moderate voices must be allowed to emerge in what has become a frightening American landscape of bellicosity and flag waving, with the media acting as ringleaders. THOMAS STARKY New York City...
...hope Powell's plan to include the U.N. in the effort to rebuild Iraq prevails over Rumsfeld's unilateral approach. But given Bush's go-it-alone war rhetoric, it doesn't look good for the sensible path espoused by Powell. So it appears that the hawks are destined to win.

Instead, he seeks to maintain Palestinian unity on the basis of a common understanding to pursue the "roadmap" - an approach that has Israeli security chiefs warning that Abbas has no intention...
...attacks on Israelis, say Abbas's supporters, the new prime minister desperately needs Israel to begin withdrawing from West Bank towns and cities - both to allow the reconstituting of the official Palestinian security structures as the effective authority in those areas, and also to demonstrate that the non-violent path can bring results. But troop withdrawal may be a tall order for the Israelis as long as terror attacks continue - which they almost certainly will, since they're traditionally the preferred means by which the Islamists and other radical groups signal their rejection of new cease-fire initiatives...
