Echoes of the chipper, partisan Reagan of yore rang through the President's remarks last week, and doubtless will resound in the State of the Union speech as well.

Accusations of the Israeli government's complicity in the mosque shooting spree resound from almost every corner of the Arab world, and echo in the chambers of the United Nations. Egypt is the one noble exception...
