...more troubling is that the First Lady has been reluctant to take stances on important, albeit divisive, issues pertinent to her candidacy. Take, for example, Clinton's recent trip to the Middle East, where she attracted negative attention for failing to respond directly to the allegations of Suha Arafat, the wife of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, that Israel had used poison gas against the Palestinians. Although Clinton later dismissed Suha Arafat's claims as "baseless," she justified her earlier inaction by appealing to her diplomatic role as the First Lady...

...passions inflamed as the investigation by the two nations to uncover the cause of Flight 990's catastrophic end already threatened to turn the tragic air crash into a damaging collision between the U.S. and its best Arab ally in the Middle East.

New Yorkers are a cynical lot, and Mrs. Clinton's apparent flip-flopping on Middle East questions - and her carefully scripted exchange with teacher's union president Randi Weingarten Monday, in which Weingarten supposedly cajoled Clinton into announcing - aren't likely to impress. So the real question isn't where Hillary lives, but whether she's ready to rumble...
