Q: I have been told that Israel is not a democracy. It seems odd, for example, that when they keep expanding their 'territories', the so-called 'new' citizens of Israel -- who were the 'old' part of Palestine -- can't vote in Israel even though they're a part of Israel now. Is it true that the new parts of Israel cannot vote?

Hanson: Arabs inside Israel are citizens and vote. The so-called territories, which have never been formally annexed, are a different matter. I am sure Israel did all it could to promote elections there post-Oslo. Arafat, not the Israelis, did the one vote-one time thing. The evacuation from Gaza and much of the West Bank will be interesting to watch: will the Arabs in an Israeli-free Gaza be more likely to vote, or the Arabs living a few miles away in hated Israel proper?

The problem with questions like this one is a matter of degree—like talking about Abu Ghraib while the world ignores thousands of Muslims killed in Grozny or thousands more blacks butchered by Sudanese Arabs. On a democratic scale of 1-10, Israeli is a 9 and Arafat’s Palestine is a minus 3.

I once got Bob Davie to answer a question of mine about the cover 2 defense on espn.com.

August 28th. The first game(iirc) is the Black Coaches Association game featuring, ironically, 2 teams with white coaches(USC & Va Tech).

Callahan could be really good for Nebraska, but I expect the 'Huskers to suck for the next 1-2 years while they recruit players that fit into Callahan's West Coast offense. You can't shift from the option to a timed passing attack overnight, especially with the lack of quality passing QBs at NU, and I fear the NU alumni will be too impatient to let him get his system in place.
