The Expansionist
Thursday, April 15, 2004
 
DOES Peter Brookes (and does the Post) realize the lesson in his charge that "failing to implement political and economic reforms could destabilize the country. ... he responded with only token gestures and wrapped himself in the cloak of counterterrorism, insisting that any changes would lead to more terrorist activity. In fact, the lack of change has led to more terrorism"? Brookes meant to refer to Uzbekistan, but his warning holds equally for Israel, which instead of improving conditions for Palestinians has done everything in its power to make life hell for them. Should anyone wonder why there are so many Palestinians willing to die when life is hell? (Responsive to "A New Terror Central", Apr. 5)
