This is my latest commentary for World Net Daily, on the serious situation in Iraq. In it I note what advice I would have given President George Bush if I had been advising him prior to the war last year, especially regarding the religion of Isalm. |

Hamas and Hizbullah |
| |
3/25/2004 • World Net Daily |
| |
My latest contribution to the World Net Daily Web site examines Israel's targeted killing of Hamas founder Sheik Yassin. Many of you know I was the first western journalist to focus on this terror group in my 1991 book, HOLY WAR FOR THE PROMISED LAND, updated last year. I expected it to become a major player in the Arab-Israeli conflict, which has certainly come true. I wrote the article while touring in Scotland and northern England. It has been a very good tour so far, with larger than expected turnouts in most places. |
