Barak describes new 'world war'

Speaking to a rapt crowd that filled Spaulding Auditorium, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak called for an end to the Palestinian suicide bombings of recent months, placing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the center of what he dubbed the "world war on terrorism." Although he condemned the ongoing violence, for the most part, Barak avoided discussing current Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's policies.
