...interests of all the Iraqi people, the region and the world. Alex Ohan Toronto Forgiveness Forestalled Simon Robinson's essay "Is forgiveness always divine?" [March 20] discussed the decision of the Rev. Julie Nicholson, an Anglican vicar who lost her daughter in a London suicide bombing, to resign her position as a parish priest because she is unable to forgive the suicide bomber. She is only one of millions who cannot forgive. I am one of them. As a survivor of the Holocaust, I witnessed things that were then and are now unforgivable.

...once among the most feared in Africa, it was an unceremonious end. As Liberia's ruler from 1997 to 2003, when a rebel revolt and international pressure forced him to resign and go into exile in Nigeria, Taylor, 58, had brutalized his country and the region, fomenting wars in three countries that left as many as 300,000 people dead and thousands more raped and maimed.

They have other things in common...
...party's bottom lines for sharing power - which included accepting existing agreements between Israel and the Palestinians - President Abbas faces yet another dilemma. He can either move to fire the new government by rejecting the cabinet nominees, creating a political crisis and forcing new legislative elections. Or he could resign his own position and force new presidential elections. Either way, however, Hamas would probably prevail at the polls...
