...news Monday morning was horrific--and unhelpful. Two grenades had been tossed into an Israeli bus station at rush hour, wounding 64 people. A Hamas activist was caught at the scene. Arafat condemned the terror, but the Americans feared that if Netanyahu wanted a pretext to leave, he had found it. Instead Bibi declared a suspension of the talks (soon quietly relaxed) except on security matters, and proposed a detour--a quickie deal on troops and security, to be followed by new talks in two to four weeks...

I glance behind me in apprehension, and find a bike-riding Harvardian screaming down the narrow Yard paths, no doubt late for his or her "Sex" section. They...
...also surprised at your limited take on international terrorism. The United States was completely justified in bombing terrorist targets in Afghanistan and Sudan, since these nations do indeed have a highly developed military-industrial complex which supports the spread of terror. Do several well-organized camps supplied by international trade routes and backed up by billions of dollars not fit into a definition of "highly developed...
