...senior Arab diplomat called Washington's policy toward the Palestinians "confused," and dismissed the idea of attacking Iraq as "ridiculous" and "disastrous." Although Arab officials welcomed Zinni's mission as a first step, the reaction to Cheney's tour ranged from puzzlement to scorn. And there is considerable anger that the administration allowed the bloodshed between Israelis and Palestinians to reach unprecedented levels before intervening, despite many months of Arab allies pleading with Washington to do something...
...credit to the triumph of women's athletics, I guess, that the female bout was the main event. Harding tromped into the ring like the bitter little ball of anger we remember so fondly from 1994.

...China's undeveloped legal system has forced peasants to employ some pretty extraordinary means when seeking justice. In January, for example, hundreds of villagers in Henan and Guangdong provinces overturned cars and attacked officials accused of corruption. The anger is strongest in a vast countryside where hundreds of millions have been bypassed by economic development and face increasingly hard lives. (Premier Zhu Rongji acknowledged last week that "incomes for farmers in some major grain producing areas ... are decreasing...
