My report from a Palestinian refugee camp in South Beirut did not augur well for a peaceful way out of the impasse with Israel.

Here in the US, we know much about the fear and suffering that Israeli citizens have experienced from decades of terrorist actions against them. We know relatively little about their opponents, the Palestinians. I recently journeyed to Beirut hoping to find some answers. What I found does not augur well for coming to a peaceful way out of this lethal impasse.

How the pseudo-warfare of pro football is poisoning our culture.

I wrote this soon after the attacks of 9/11. How can anyone be that angry at us, the good people of America?
