That trembling mood was shared last week by millions of traumatized Israelis and Palestinians, by neighboring Arab regimes fearful that the unrest would spread to their streets and by the increasingly isolated moderates in the Bush Administration eager to clean up the mess in the Middle East. The 17-month-old cycle of killing in Israel and the occupied territories has become a death spiral from which there seems to be no escape. More than 50 people died in a three-day exchange of suicide attacks and air strikes that left even hardened veterans of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict numb...

...only option is independence from its sister republic Serbia (pop. 8 million) and the final breakup of Yugoslavia. For Djukanovic's political opponents - not to mention nearly half the voting population, the federal authorities in Belgrade and the E.U. itself - another redrawing of Balkan borders is a prescription for unrest. E.U.-sponsored talks to find a compromise are scheduled to wrap up this month, but Djukanovic may force the issue: he has threatened to call a referendum on independence...
