Hezbollah is, after all, a creature of Lebanon s resistance to Israel s 1982 invasion, now trying to reassert its influence at home and in the wider region by portraying itself as a champion of the Arab Islamic cause, namely in Palestine.

While unlikely anytime soon, this possibility should give everyone pause and spur us to find policies that will help Arabs find the political dignity and good governance they deserve through an ordered, peaceful process.

SEOUL Chinese, South Korean, and Japanese diplomats recently took to the podium of the United Nations General Assembly to reassert their countries positions on the territorial issues surrounding several small islands in the seas of East Asia.
