The Golan's Druze Wonder What Is Best
When, earlier this month, the Israeli daily Haaretz uncovered the details of secret, unofficial Syrian-Israeli peace talks, it revived a familiar menu of questions and concerns whenever Syria and Israel negotiate: Would Israel give back to Syria all of the Golan Heights?

How the Syrians Can Best Help Lebanon
In less than two months, Lebanon will celebrate the two-year anniversary of Syria's military withdrawal from Lebanon.

Pricey Cedar Politics
The assassination of Lebanese minister of industry Pierre Gemayel last week was yet another in a seemingly endless series of brutal murders of anti-Syrian politicians in Lebanon.
