Israel's Unlikely Transformer
Read Ehud Olmert's remarks at The Washington Institute's 2003 Weinberg Founders Conference. I sat alone with Ehud Olmert.

Quelling Iraq's Sectarian Violence:

Power Will Not Moderate Hamas
The election of Hamas has prompted an epidemic of self-induced amnesia among pundits who interpret Palestinian politics. For years they argued that Israel should do everything to bolster Yasser Arafat, and later Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), lest Hamas gain ground.

Islam's Coming Crusade
The Crusades began with a rumor of defilement. In 1095, Pope Urban II denounced the Muslims as "a race utterly alienated from God." Among their many offenses, Muslims had seized the churches of Jerusalem: "They circumcise the Christians, and the blood of the circumcisions they either spread upon the altars

Olmert's Bold Stand
Given acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's commanding lead in polls before the March 28 election, some might tend to dismiss the current campaign.
