...Saddam were also the guys making history. It is amazing and frightening that the head of the U.S. military is intellectually incapable of perceiving some basic distinctions. Those who want to see what kind of history Bush is making should have a look at his unmistakable cowboy posturing. Yehia El-Ezabi Cairo You reported that "Bush constantly cites the example of postwar Germany and Japan to argue that it is far too soon to call Iraq a failure."

Yehia Ayyash, known as "the Engineer" for his bomb-making expertise, picked up the phone and was killed by an explosive planted in its earpiece. Ayyash was the alleged mastermind of the suicide bombings that have threatened the fragile peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Officially, Israel declined to take responsibility for Ayyash's death...
