Letter from Amsterdam
By Fred Siegel You don't have to go there to know that Holland is gripped by growing fear of Islamic extremism.

Listen to Blair
No one should dictate U.S. policy towards post-war Iraq, the Middle East, or for that matter, Northern Ireland. But Tony Blair has richly earned the right to speak, and the right to be heard. President Bush should listen carefully to any advice he hears from this proven ally.
