...Think again. The post-ballot maneuverings of Al Gore and George W. Bush were nothing compared to what Slobodan Milosevic tried in Yugoslavia when, to his astonishment, an election went against him. On Sept. 24 Vojislav Kostunica, head of the center-right Democratic Party of Serbia, who had the support of a coalition of 15 opposition parties, seemed to have ended Milosevic's 13-year autocratic rule. But when the votes were counted, the state-run Federal Election Commission reported 48.22% for Kostunica, 40.23% for Milosevic. At Milosevic's strong urging, a runoff was called.

...Barak is campaigning for an early election on Feb. 6 with fast-fading support in the polls. He needs a platform, something to take to the voters besides more negotiations and more violence, and peace - a peace solution from which both sides can take some finality - is it. At some point, Barak will have to bring a deal home to the Israeli parliament and face down the hawks (Ariel Sharon, for one, who is running against Barak). But until then he's got nothing to lose but his job, and without a deal he expects to lose that anyway...
