...aide. Arafat exploited Palestinian anger at Israeli military operations in the occupied territories to cast Abbas as a tool of Israel. For Abbas, the final straw came in early September when Fatah militants confronted him as he entered the offices of the Palestinian Legislative Council and accused him of treason. A shaken Abbas resigned the next day. An aide says he plans to go abroad as soon as a new government is formed. "Arafat's morale is high," says a top Palestinian official, "not because of Israel's threat against him but because he got rid of Abu Mazen...
After this act of treason, the Dixie Chicks, or perhaps more accurately called the “Ba’athist Chicks,” no longer deserved their former place in our society: that of the cheerfully brainless pop act that amused us with their shiny hair and their shinier outfits. The Chicks had a brain now, and they had an idea…called treason.

Their protests serve as an example for mainland Chinese, who must not expect totalitarianism to disappear on its own and should challenge it actively as my friends and I have...

In Tikrit, a block from the parade grounds where Saddam often celebrated his birthday, graffiti on a wall in bold Arabic strokes READ ALL THOSE WHO COOPERATE WITH THE AMERICANS WILL BE KILLED. Not far down the road, a former lieutenant in the Fedayeen who met with a TIME reporter in his one-story home reiterates that threat. "Traitors," spits the lieutenant at the mention of those helping the U.S. forces. "They are not Iraqis. They don't love their country...
