When Did America Forget That It's America?

If You Have To Fight An Enemy At A Critical Point In Time, And You Have An Ally Who Happens To Be A Dictator, You Don't Say: Let's Stop Fighting Right Now, Because You're Not A Democrat. That Would Be Ridiculous.

The Message Of The Free World To Any Potential Palestinian Leadership Should Be A Simple One: Embrace Democratic Reform And We Will Embrace You.

Only Weeks After Oslo Began, When Nearly All The World And Most Of Israel Was Drunk With The Idea Of Peace, I Argued That A Palestinian Society Not Constrained By Democratic Norms Would Be A Fear Society That Would Pose A Grave Threat To Israel.

Unfortunately, Little Attention Was Paid To How Arafat Ruled. In Fact, Some Saw The Harsh And Repressive Nature Of Arafat's Regime As Actually Bolstering The Prospects For Peace.
