Two interesting op-eds by prominent conservatives on President Bush's new Middle East policy: Peggy Noonan says he nailed it; Daniel Pipes, perhaps unintentionally, argues that Al Gore was right. (Pipes: "To watch Bush dealing with an increasingly acrimonious Arab-Israeli theater leaves me with two impressions: His larger vision--to support Israel against terrorism--shows a clear understanding of the situation. But his limited understanding of the issues leads him to adopt superficial, even counterproductive policies." [my emphasis])
