From his press secretary:

"While touring Afghanistan, Senator Frist made the observation that Afghan tribesman should be brought into the government or risk losing them to the Taliban," she said in a statement. "Giving the native tribes, often targeted by Taliban recruitment, a voice in the government will promote peace and prosperity in the region. Sen. Frist does not believe Taliban fighters - often foreign fighters who come to Afghanistan to further conflict - should be brought into the reconciliation process."

The key to winning hearts and minds in the entire Moslem world is the creation of a Palestinian state, and an Israeli-Palestinian peace. I haven't heard Pelosi comment on that, and for that matter I haven't heard many Democrats speak on it. That's because they're gutless, except for Dean.

Bush made his call for a Palestinian state publicly, and Major Media ignored it.
Our reporters regularly allow our political leaders to avoid speaking on this key issue.
