Today's column, "Giuliani's Fresh Start," notes that "My writings and spoken statements over the past seven years have criticized the [Bush administration's] handling of Iraq, the war on terror, democratization, and (especially) the Arab-Israeli conflict." Here is a summary of those writings on the Arab-Israeli conflict, with new titles added as they appear.

"Bush on Israel: Heartburn for All." New York Post March 4, 2003. Ruminations on the president's uncharacteristic inconsistency regarding the Arab-Israeli theater.
