...each side designed to achieve a Palestinian state living peacefully alongside Israel within three years. Sharon may, of course, be saving that for his May 20 meeting with President Bush at the White House, but he's also insisting that the Palestinian Authority mount a concerted campaign against terrorism and renounce any claim by Palestinian refugees to return to Israel as preconditions for political dialogue. Israel did, however, agree to release some Palestinian prisoners and ease some restrictions on Palestinians traveling to jobs inside Israel as gestures aimed at restarting dialogue. More importantly, perhaps, Sharon also agreed to meet with...
...them in the hope of stopping a relentless wave of suicide bombings inside Israel-proper. The Palestinians say they can't reconstitute their shattered security services as long as Israeli maintains a stranglehold on their turf, and argue that an Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for a crackdown on terrorism.

Now home in Kansas, Gracia has found herself in the cross fire again over her memoir, In the Presence of My Enemies. Even before the book was released in the Philippines, reports emerged that Burnham charges a Philippine soldier with firing the shot that killed...
...country does not exist. Zinn confuses the United States, a free country ruled by principles that the majority agrees are important, with a dictatorship centered on the individual leader’s ambitions—Saddam’s Iraq, for example. Unlike Saddam’s terror campaigns, U.S. military intervention isn’t personal. Bush’s foreign policy isn’t personal. Both serve American interests in security and peace; if Bush is reelected in 2004, it will be because his administration had the courage to protect those interests, which most Americans think...
