...unlike Robertson, Joel never followed up a week later by saying, "My zeal, my love of Israel, and my concern for the future safety of your nation led me to make remarks which I can now view in retrospect as inappropriate and insensitive in light of a national grief." Those were Robertson's words in a letter delivered to Sharon's son Omri yesterday evening, Israeli time. The letter, marked for hand delivery yet also posted on Robertson's website, also asked "the forgiveness of the people of Israel" and pleaded that "when I speak, it is always...

...Bristol, Tennessee, U.S. The Middle East is inherently unstable. An American pullout from Iraq would increase its instability. But so would a continued American presence there. And sending yet more troops to Iraq - if there were more troops to send - would only make things worse. We are seeing in retrospect that Saddam Hussein's brutal regime, crippled and contained in the aftermath of the first Gulf War, was the best of many bad scenarios.
