>NEW RESOURCES FROM FCNL!
>Here are three new FCNL Perspectives papers that you are sure to want to
>read.
>
>"The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Requirements for a Just, Secure, and
>Lasting Peace" (Perspectives no. 5).  Jim Fine, a former Quaker
>International Affairs representative for the American Friends Service
>Committee (AFSC) in the Middle East and director of the Friends Schools
>at Ramallah and el-Bireh during 1998-99, has prepared an insightful
>analysis of this tragic conflict.  The paper addresses the impact of the
>conflict on both Israelis and Palestinians, why Oslo failed, the role of
>Israeli settlements, necessary Palestinian Authority reforms, and the
>way forward.  With the war in Iraq ending its major combat phase, the
>Bush Administration has publicly stated its commitment to working toward
>peace between Israelis and Palestinians.  We believe that this document
>can serve as a guide to addressing the issue properly.
>
>The paper is available on FCNL's web site in both HTML and PDF formats.
>(HTML versions are easiest to read on your computer screen, while PDF
>versions are best for printing.)  Here are the links:
>
>HTML: http://www.fcnl.org/issues/persp5_isr-pal_1.htm
>
>PDF: http://www.fcnl.org/pdfs/perspctvs/perspec5.pdf
>
>Print copies may also be obtained by contacting FCNL.  (We appreciate
>your contribution to help cover printing and postage costs.)

>"The World at War - January 1, 2003" (Perspectives no. 6), by Col. Dan
>Smith, U.S. Army (Ret.), FCNL's Senior Fellow on Military Affairs.  Here
>is a snapshot, taken as the new year started, of all the violent
>conflicts and the conflicts-in-suspension around the globe.  This
>analysis summarizes the main issues and key players in each conflict.
>The paper is available on FCNL's web site in both HTML and PDF formats.

>"Organizing for Peace: January 1, 2003" (Perspectives no. 7), by Col.
>Dan Smith, is the companion to "The World at War".  Here is a look at
>the global efforts to resolve conflicts without resort to weapons and
>warfare.  These efforts, which get little attention in the media,
>encompass both United Nations missions and those of regional
>organizations.  The paper is available on FCNL's web site in both HTML
>and PDF formats.  Here are the links:

>HTML: http://www.fcnl.org/issues/persp7_peace_1.htm

>We hope that you will find these documents useful tools in distilling
>some very important issues in the world today.
