...diplomacy. Like the other Western European allies, he is a firm adherent of what Europeans are calling "the Powell line," believing the cautious, methodical and prudent coalition-building authored by the U.S. Secretary of State is essential to ensure a campaign against Al Qaida does not spark a wider war with unpredictable consequences. They have strongly opposed extending military action to Iraq or any other states considered possible targets for retaliation by Washington's more hawkish elements, for fear of breaking up the coalition and raising long-term dangers.

Although Yasser Arafat has enthusiastically welcomed a more active U.S. role and has been quick to proclaim a new cease-fire, Tuesday's Hamas attack in Gaza is a stark reminder of the extent to which Arafat's political authority has ebbed over the past year.

French anti-terrorist police ultimately tracked down the bombers, and developed an extensive "human intelligence" capability to monitor the wider networks of which they'd been a part. French law-enforcement was also aided by a catch-all crime law: Simply by citing "association with wrong-doers involved in a terrorist enterprise," French police are able to arrest and detain any suspect in any crime whose goal, however remotely, can ultimately assist terrorist activity. That law shocks civil libertarians...
