Villagers staged angry protests, condemning the U.S. for the killing of innocents. An official in Islamabad worried that demonstrations could spread. The Pakistani government has never had firm control over the borderlands, where many tribes see President Pervez Musharraf as a traitor for cooperating with the U.S. Musharraf is especially sensitive to claims that he allows the U.S. to conduct military operations in Pakistan. U.S. Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker was summoned to the foreign ministry to receive a formal protest. Information Minister Sheik Rashid Ahmed announced, "We will not allow such incidents to reoccur."

...decision to withdraw from Gaza was the best example: He left because he saw it as the best political option for Israel, and he had the courage to face down the challenge from the hotheads in his own party and society who labeled him a traitor.

...Israel wants to keep him alive -- to hold him to the pledge of peaceful coexistence that he made with a handshake on a sunny September day in Washington. At that moment, in accepting far less than the independent state he has always promised his people, he became a traitor to many of his own. So now it is the Palestinian extremists who seek to kill him in order to kill the peace accord. There is an air of bravado in the room this December night. The peace on which Yasser Arafat has staked so much is not yet real...
