I'm sure Falwell already has more protection than Rushdie ever had.The man is widely hated, he knows how to take care of himself Also, either his apology is heartfelt or he is a liar. I doubt he would apologize because of a threat. Pressure was brought to bear on him to revise his stance on moslems from inside his organization, imo. Too many good moslems to slam them all for all the bad ones. I'm sure Haim does not agree.

A column by the NYT's Paul Krugman, and a Times editorial both argue the same point: An invasion of Iraq could tick-off the "Muslim street" and thus make the war against Islamic extremists more difficult. Meanwhile, in a frontpage dispatch, the Times' John Burns wanders the streets of Baghdad: "To be asked your nationality, and to answer American or British, is to hear the same response again and again: 'America good,' 'Britain good,' often accompanied by raised thumbs, a broad smile and a wrist-wrenching handshake."
