On Wednesday, Iraq's leaders united to strongly condemn Zarqawi's statements. One Iraqi official declared that the terrorists and insurgents, quote, "are feeling this might be the last chance they have to survive. They're fighting everyone in Iraq-every Iraqi. I think that shows how weak they are." End quote. A newly appointed first Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi parliament said that Zarqawi fears the new Government will unify Shiites and Sunnis and Kurds.

In "Israeli extremism exposed" (Opinion, March 12) writer Ahmad Tibi just puts a new lead on charges he made nearly a year ago in a New York Times Op-Ed column, "A Harsh Reality for Palestinians" (April 6, 2009). Mr. Tibi again claims Israeli law discriminates against Arabs in favor of Jews, and he draws parallels with "Jim Crow discrimination" and "apartheid South Africa." Yet he's a deputy speaker of the Israeli Parliament and has to concede that Israeli Arabs "are able to vote and hold office." They also can serve as Supreme Court judges, senior diplomats, ranking military officers and, at least once, Miss Israel. Jim Crow? Apartheid? I don't think so.

BAGHDAD -- Senior Iraqi officials and lawmakers recommended a review of security leadership, better coordination on intelligence and firmer treatment of detainees Friday as anger mounted over truck bombings against key government institutions that killed nearly 100 people. Lawmakers also called for an emergency session of parliament next week to address the security concerns, the deputy parliament speaker said.

CAIRO - In this presidential campaign headquarters, in a second- floor apartment in the Cairo neighborhood of Garden City, young female volunteers in full veil work alongside women in colorful headscarfs and those with flowing, uncovered hair. All work side by side with young men as they scan video clips on their computers. This may seem odd for the office of an Islamist candidate in the May 23-24 elections. But it symbolizes the appeal of the one candidate who seems capable of bridging the deepening divide between secular and devout Egyptians. His is the campaign I'm most interested in.

Merrill recalls kneeling in the dust on a dirt road behind a mosque with four Lebanese Army soldiers aiming their rifles. Among other things, he remembers the noon sun beat down on his bare back, arms, and legs, a short, rough-talking major having ordered to strip him to his underwear scrutinizing his passport as a journalist that lacked a press pass which made his presence in the war zone suspicious. Also, he describes Lebanon's worst crisis since the civil war which claimed 150,000 lives and might spark another conflagration.

DES MOINES - Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich said he supports a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians that includes two separate states, but he did not step back Saturday from his assertion that Palestinians are an "invented" people, an incendiary comment that infuriated one side in the Mideast peace process. The burden to show a willingness to reach a peace accord with the Israelis lies squarely with the Palestinians, he said.

In the intervening years, Iraqi Kurds re-established themselves and enjoy virtual autonomy in northern Iraq-thanks in no small part to U.S. and British planes patrolling a "no-fly zone" they unilaterally established there and in southern Iraq-and fighting in southeastern Turkey has abated. Sgouridis, whose father was born in Istanbul, attributes his lifelong commitment to minority rights to the fact that Thrace-homeland of Dionysius, the Greek god of wine-today is home not only to Orthodox Christian Greeks, but also to such diverse groups as Muslim Greeks (including Turkish Muslims who decided to remain in Greece after the Lausanne Treaty of 1923 ending World War I, and Pomaki Greeks, who converted to Islam during the Ottoman Empire); Pontian Greeks, originally from the shores of the B...

CAIRO - A senior Arab League official condemned on Sunday a statement by Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich claiming Palestinians are an "invented" people, calling it racist and a cheap stunt to get votes. However, Israeli Cabinet minister Uzi Landau said Gingrich was "right." He claimed the Palestinians do not have their own language or culture, and are instead part of the broader Arab world.

It should also be stressed that some elements in the U.S. officer corps and the Defense Intelligence Agency are clearly spoiling for a fight with Iran because the Iranian-supported [Shi]'a nationalists in Iraq are a major obstacle to U.S. dominance in Iraq. Although very few U.S. troops in Iraq are killed by Shi'a, military spokesmen have been attempting to give the impression that Tehran is ordering hits on U.S. troops, a clear casus belli. Disinformation campaigns that accuse Iran of trying to destabilize the Shi'a dominated Iraqi government - a government Iran actually supports - could lay the groundwork for a war. Likewise, with the U.S. military now beginning patrols on the Iran-Iraq border, the possibility is enhanced of a hostile incident spinning out of control. The Iranians hav...

Echoing fellow reformists' concerns over the legitimacy of the Iranian government and the apparent rift between conservatives and reformists, former Iranian President Muhammad Khatami called for a national referendum to resolve the crisis. According to Iranian officials, most of those executed were convicted of drug smuggling and related crimes. The Guardian announced that Iranian authorities renewed arrests of student activists at Iranian universities, including Tehran University, in order to prevent campuses from fostering continued opposition toward President Ahmadinejad.
