Robert Spencer, one of the nation’s leading critics on Islam, says President Bush experienced "an unconscionable historical and moral lapse" when he recently called for an end to what he called the "occupation" of Arab land by the Israeli military.

The Road Map is officially dead.
In the aftermath of President Bush’s recent trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories, tensions have flared.
