(IsraelNN.com) Americans' support for Israel in the conflict with the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza remains extremely high, with 62 percent of Americans considering themselves supporters of Israel and only 9 percent as "supporters of the Palestinians." These are some of the findings of a new bipartisan poll commissioned by The Israel Project (TIP). By a similar margin (61 to 10), Americans believe the U.S. should support Israel in the conflict with the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza. TIP says this is in stark contrast to a 2002 poll, when fully 68 percent of Americans thought the U.S....

"Under Chamberlain," said one Labour backbencher, "we had peace for our time." "Now," he went on, "under this new brutal and dictatorial Tory rule, Churchill, along with...

A common misconception that pervades arguments over the War On Terror holds that if we just pulled our troops out of the Middle East, the war would end because we would no longer project an abrasive presence into their part of the world. This contention seems supported by the words of Osauma Bin Ladin, who claimed his causus bellum for sending Al Quaida operatives against the United States was the continued US military presence in Kuwait and Suadi Arabia. If this line of reasoning was accurate, than a withdrawl of US forces from the Middle East would be a logical...

For the last five weeks I have been traveling through the Middle East, meeting diplomats, officials, policy experts, military leaders, students and ordinary citizens.

It features large artistic renderings of Bill Clinton and fellow international leaders who attended the 1996 Summit of the Peacemakers at this Egyptian spot. Seeing the visage of his predecessor must have really affected President Bush's appetite, because the president spent less than 90 minutes dining with Mubarak before heading back to his...
