...robust drive by the U.S. to make peace between Israel and Palestine, but including enhanced dialogue with Syria and Iran as long as they behave better, and some changes in Iraqi arrangements too. That approach, he argues, will help "pin back" the extremism that fuels terror both inside and outside Iraq. Viewed from 10,000 m up, that's perfectly sensible. But down at the level where bullets fly and deals get struck (or don't), this strategy looks like a sack of airy promises that can't be delivered. Of course it would be great to have a deal...
After Regensburg, the mainstream Italian daily La Stampa ran the headline THE POPE AND BUSH ALLIED AGAINST TERROR. The association with the Iraq war and U.S. interrogation methods must have horrified the Pontiff, if only because it could undermine the church's honest-broker role in regional conflicts.

...deeply troubling that an academic like Professor Scott would both eschew objectivity and undercut independent thinking in order to indoctrinate students with anti-American sentiments.

Al-Dari is the head of the influential Muslim Scholars Association, who while condemning terror attacks on Iraqi civilians has nonetheless openly backed insurgent attacks on U.S. forces as "legitimate resistance." The arrest warrant was greeted with howls of protest by the Sunni parties participating in the government, who denounced it as a sectarian attack. Some Sunni leaders even warned that if it were not rescinded, they...
...tomorrow. The Harvard Initiative for Peace and Justice (HIPJ), Socialist Alternative, and the Stop Torture Coalition are all planning rallies to offer a counterpoint to the speech by the officer credited with coining the term “The Long War” to describe the war on terror. Off-campus groups will also join the protest. The speech comes in the wake of a mid-term election in which voter dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq played a significant role in the Democratic takeover of Congress. Groups that are planning rallies are protesting Gen. Abizaid’s central...
