option, pointing that peace can be achieved only when Israel pulls out of all

using force against Syria, emphasizing its claim to the Israeli-occupied Golan
Heights.

suffering Iraqi people to lead better lives.

anti-Israeli Arab gathering, supporting Beirut's claim to Shebaa Farms.

recent peaceful steps that could lead to an end to the Darfur standoff, a
