November 26, 2002 | Mordechai Abir

The recuperation of Iraq's oil industry could prove a major threat to the oil-dependent Saudi economy. Saudi per capita income has fallen from about $23,000 in the early 1980s to about $7,000 last year. Prince Abdallah has attempted to reform the Saudi economy and reduce expenditures on subsidies and perks, including the costly stipends paid to 7,000 royal princes.

Understanding American Christian Attitudes Regarding Jerusalem

August 15, 2002 | David Raab

The unity and control of Jerusalem have been among the most contentious and complex issues in Israel-Arab relations.

August 13, 2002 | Prof. Moshe Arens

The present Iraqi capability is relatively limited. According to recent U.S. estimates, Iraq may have a dozen or two Scud missiles that were not caught by UN inspectors. They are working to attain nuclear capability but do not have it at the moment. However, both the Iraqis and the Iranians have chemical warheads, and both probably have biological weapons as well.
