One might be tempted to say no, based on the low expectations that emanate from virtually all directions. With the right effort, though &#8211; that is, demonstrating some humility, advancing a future vision for the region and downplaying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Will Turkey invade Iraq?
I hope not, although that question incessantly hovers over a deteriorating situation along the border between the two countries. In recent days, clashes involving Turkish troops and a Kurdish extremist group known as the PKK have killed dozens of Turks and militants. Several Turkish soldiers have wound up as hostages.

		<description><![CDATA[Around the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaeda officials typically cannot resist invading the consciousness of decent people with reminders of their past misdeeds, along with the fact that they still lurk menacingly in the shadows. This year, though, for the first time in a long while, terrorism financier Osama bin Laden himself apparently has [...]]]></description>

But it contributes to evidence that a substantial number of the largely silent majority of Islamic moderates may have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An official U.S. intelligence report about the &#8220;return&#8221; of al-Qaeda has sparked considerable worry, echoing the concerns of those who had never stopped paying attention to the rebounding terrorist group.
Nearly six years after Sept. 11, it stands to reason that al-Qaeda would have regrouped and drawn strength from events such as the conflict in Iraq. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a former resident of London, I personally resent the recent terrorist upheaval there and in other parts of the United Kingdom. Sadly, the alleged perpetrators – largely medical professionals – like others before them, have apparently embraced a narrow, perverted, rampaging interpretation of Islam.
