No Phony "Cease-Fires" With Terrorism
(Washington Post) Charles Krauthammer - President Bush, headed to Middle East summits in Egypt and Jordan, is in danger of heading straight back to Oslo, that eight-year exercise in delusion and self-deception that led to the bloodiest fighting between Israelis and Palestinians in 50 years.
