Harvard’s cadets deserve anything the University can do to help; it is largely because of past, present and future cadets fighting to protect our freedom that the rest of us have the luxury of pontificating about whether we support ROTC.

But one of their demands is for a leadership that will more effectively challenge the Israeli occupation than Arafat has done. One of the major Palestinian criticisms of the PA has been that it failed to protect them from the Israeli onslaught, and that its security chiefs abandoned their men. Those pushing hardest for reform in the PA are also, in many instances, among the most strongly resistant to the idea that its security forces should be rounding up the Islamists and other radicals at the forefront...
