...leave the highway far behind, the villages grow visibly poorer; a rare stretch of paved road is announced by a sign bearing the President's face and the slogan GLORIA CARES. In many villages, government troops are dug in behind sandbags and razor wire. Three hours later, we transfer to trail bikes and roar along deserted tracks to a semi-derelict logging shack. Waiting there are five N.P.A. soldiers with M-16s, who guide us through the darkening jungle to a camp lit by flickering oil lamps. "The comrades are very excited you're here," says a voice from...

...Palestine also needs revision. A Hamas-dominated government—which denies Israel’s right to exist—will certainly prove hostile to negotiations with Israel, and permanent peace will surely not materialize in the reported timeframe of a year. Moreover, the call for the transfer of the Golan Heights from Israel to Syria and the establishment of a stable Palestinian state could easily be construed as diminishing U.S. support for Israel...
