...counterterrorism. "But how could Israel not respond to this provocation in a most forceful way?" Even the Saudis, never quick to grant Israel favors, disavowed Hizballah's actions in a remarkable statement that implied that Hizballah should "alone bear the full responsibility of these irresponsible acts and should alone shoulder the burden of ending the crisis they have created." King Abdullah II of Jordan and President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt likewise condemned Hizballah for "adventurism that does not serve Arab interests...

I was shocked to receive angry diatribes from Christians around the country telling me that I had misinterpreted the Bible and that I wasn?...
...glanced over my shoulder at the parade of umbrellas huddled in front of the Capitol, I felt the weight of Rev. Jim Wallis’ sermon from the night before—that we were the foundation for a new social movement that would remind politicians that poverty is a manifestation of a nation’s moral lapse, of its unwillingness to help the poor. This movement would fill a void in the soul of the nation, and provide a home for people who believe that morality should guide policy, but that a “culture of life?...
