07-01-07 - Let Blair be Blair It is already clear what Tony Blair's first challenge will be in his new job as international envoy to the Middle East.

07-01-07 - Essays attempt to explain Syria's role as a hot spot To this author, might equals right in the Middle East. Time and again Rubin reminds readers that Israel won most major armed conflicts against the Arabs (in 1948, 1967 and 1973), and because of that, resistance is futile. Having a progressive and technologically advanced society such as Israel's, Rubin insists, is the only way for Arab countries to move forward. Yet he fails to mention that this very society also is a violent occupying force restricting the freedom of movement of millions of Palestinians and depriving them of rights as basic as access to health care.
