...states do not impose on others conditions that will long be resented. The U.S. is right to demand that any Palestinian state renounce terrorism, for terrorism is a curse that spills over national borders.

The only security breach: documents diagraming protocol arrangements for the G-8 leaders were found in a Kananaskis picnic area - by a London Times reporter...
