...Saudis are pushing for a peace-plan based on Israel's 1967 borders, and urging the U.S. to restrain Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon. The Saudi position, once again is motivated in part by the fear that the survival of the House of Saud requires placating the anti-American rage generated among ordinary Saudis by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and like many moderate Arab regimes, they're particularly alarmed at the potential domestic consequences of a U.S. attack on Iraq while battles rage in the West Bank and Gaza. But the most forceful advocates of attacking Iraq, such as Defense...
...Shouqa could not shield his son Haitham, 14, from his own choices, and the boy chose death. Abu Shouqa's hands, honed as hard as stone by martial arts, now are knotted into big, clumsy fists, pressing hard against each other. He sweats with the difficulty of controlling his rage as he talks about Haitham. He will not say what he would have told his son, had the boy confessed his plans to his father.

But now some Nashville conservatives have gone from Earle indifference to rage over his song John Walker's Blues, which is on his upcoming album, Jerusalem. Written from the perspective of the so-called American Taliban, the lyrics include "We came to fight the jihad/ And our hearts were pure and strong." Earle said he doesn't "condone what [Walker] did." But a Nashville...
...Hamas leaders in Gaza were secretly talking to senior officials in Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority. Palestinian officials close to Arafat say the Palestinian leader wanted to calm the violence because he felt it was undermining his global stature. The Hamas leaders were considering a brief truce, but the rage caused by the death of Shehadah and the civilians around him ended that prospect. Hamas will struggle to find an organizer as good as Shehadah. But his immediate legacy remains the network he built in the West Bank, and it is primed to take an awful revenge on Israelis...
