Actually, if you look carefully at Bush’s dramatic announcement on Thursday, the answer is no. Gone were the fudgy words of recent days, when Secretary of State Powell declared that Arafat is “the leader of the Palestinian people, and his leadership is now even more central to trying to find a way out,” and White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Arafat was exempt from the we-don’t-deal-with-terrorists rule because he had signed the Oslo Peace Agreement....

Although they are not malignant, nasal polyps can exacerbate the already debilitating symptoms of rhinosinusitis, increasing congestion and contributing to facial pressure and pain as well as a loss of smell. Traditional treatment of nasal polyps focuses on decreasing the chronic inflammation that is causing the growths as well as surgical removal of the polyps themselves and the management of symptoms. Steroid nasal sprays are commonly used. Unfortunately, this is not effective for all individuals who suffer from nasal polyps and they end up undergoing repeated sinus surgeries to remove the growths....
