...world opinion so opposed to the actions taken against Hamas by the Israeli military? How would Americans respond to an organization that was hell-bent on eliminating the U.S. as a viable country? Hamas may provide social services for average Palestinians?who have gone without such help because of corruption in the Palestinian Authority?but for Israelis, Hamas is as bad as the Nazis were for Jews.

At a closed-doors lunch after Friday's meeting, Powell made an emotional last appeal for support, telling the other ministers that the U.S. would never have come to the U.N. to begin with if it were hell-bent on war.

Powell's speech may have softened the hearts of wavering member states...
