Since the U.S. war on terrorism began a year ago, Ariel Sharon has not made life easy for George W. Bush. The Israeli leader's determination to retaliate for Palestinian suicide attacks with overwhelming, at times indiscriminate, force has infuriated Arab allies and fueled anti-American hatred among Muslims around the world. In spite of that, Bush has largely given Sharon a free pass - equating Israel's war against Palestinian terror with the U.S. struggle to defeat al-Qaeda. After the two leaders meet today in Washington, you'll likely see them shake hands and slap backs and hear renewed...

In so doing, the U.S. hopes to allay the prewar jitters of Arab leaders, who fear that an Israeli attack on Iraq could inflame their own populations, destabilize their regimes and perhaps draw them into a wider...
...told that in the fight against Islamic radicalism, Americans must dance with dictators, or we will die. But where did most of the Sept. 11 hijackers come from?

...then, Iraqi forces have become much weaker, while U.S. forces have become much fiercer. While the prospects of urban warfare and of Saddam's unleashing chemical or biological weapons complicate the equation, they change none of the fundamentals. The benefit could be enormous. For one thing, the 22-member Arab League lacks any truly democratic government. Suppose "Iraq: The Rerun" ended with a transformed Iraq, standing as the sole democracy in the region, with a government that threatened no one. That alone sounds worth it tome...
...them couldn't resist the opportunity to have them all on one disc. The album also provided an occasion for the world to share a rare moment of international consensus, as it also reached No. 1 in the U.K., Canada, France, Brazil, Australia, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates, among other countries. Don't be surprised if the next meeting of the United Nations is kicked off with a rendition of Hound...
