...Saturday, on the eve of Carter's six-day visit, Castro came out swinging. Speaking live on state television, Castro called on U.S. officials to "present even the most minimum proof" of the allegation Undersecretary of State John Bolton made Monday. "The only thing true in Bolton's lies is that Cuba is 90 miles away from United States territory?No one has ever presented a single shred of evidence that our homeland has conceived a program that develops nuclear, chemical or biological weapons," Castro said. "The doors of our institutions are open...Cuba has absolutely nothing to hide...
...teenager growing up in Britain, I remember saying prayers at our church for the safety of Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. For my friends and me, Israel's great Defense Minister, the one-eyed Moshe Dayan, was an authentic hero.

...peacemaking, Israel will never allow an independent Palestinian state and that the U.S. will support Israel no matter what - and the Arabs cannot stand back and do nothing. "It smells a little like May 1967," says an Arab diplomat, referring to the Arab mood on the eve of the Six-Day War. Fortunately, that still seems like an exaggeration. Far from being inclined toward war, all 22 Arab states agreed in March, during an Arab summit in Beirut, to offer Israel "normal relations" in exchange for a withdrawal from the territories Israel captured in 1967. When U.S. Secretary of State...
