...Hamas and Fatah militiamen have clashed repeatedly in the last three weeks, including on three separate occasions in just the last two days. Early Monday morning, three men were killed in Khan Yunis during a shoot-out between the factions that followed a series of tit-for-tat kidnappings.

...Those who claim that U.S. treatment of India and its rival Pakistan must be equivalent forget the not so slight distinction between liberal democracy and military dictatorship. Only seven years ago the junta led by Pervez Musharraf seized power in Pakistan in a coup d’état. Consider also that leading Pakistani engineer A.Q. Khan confessed to running a nuclear weapons racket with connections to potential “rogue states” Iran and North Korea. To top it all, Osama bin Laden and senior leaders of al-Qaeda are widely believed to reside in northwestern...
