...that's just background music for what is already on its way to being a monster news week. The bin Laden asset-freezing continues, the Taliban says he's hidden in-country and practically dares us to bomb away. The Russians are arming the rebels. (Oh. And the Supreme Court disbarred Clinton.) Congress might reveal its thinking on the rest of that $100 billion in the wings, and the Pentagon could be ready to reveal a little might...
...cease-fire was less significant for what it achieved (not much) than for the fact that it happened at all. Although the meeting was arranged before the September 11 attacks, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had immediately afterward ordered his foreign minister to cancel the talks. Sharon branded Arafat "our Bin Laden" and ratcheted up Israeli military activity in the West Bank and Gaza, mounting 16 incursions into Palestinian Authority-controlled areas in the week following the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. Sharon's change of heart - allowing the meeting to go ahead and avoiding Israeli-initiated military action against...
...Sharon has little faith in negotiations with Arafat, and may have been inclined to believe that the September 11 attacks in the U.S. would generate Western sympathy for a more aggressive Israeli strategy - hence his Arafat-Bin Laden comparison. The prime minister is under mounting domestic political pressure from his old nemesis, former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to make an end run around the State Department and White House and appeal directly to Congress and the U.S. public to support a more aggressive campaign against Arafat's administration.

...September 11 attacks, President Bush received a strong pledge of support from Jordan's King Abdullah, but also a passionate plea for Washington to do more to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Arab allies on whom the U.S. will rely heavily in the intelligence war on Bin laden face strong domestic resistance against working too closely with the U.S. - because of the perception among their citizens that Washington bears some responsibility for the plight of ordinary Palestinians and Iraqis. Just as it was for the first Bush administration during the Gulf War, pressing a reluctant Israeli government...
