Yes-- the traditional methods of nation building, as you point out, have been replaced by-- feebly--by international law. That is why the boundries determined by the UN should have been adhered to. It was the Arab countries who violated the imposed boundries, therefore going back to the conquest model. Furthermore, altho terrorism was indeed used by the Irgun under Begin, the terrorists were strictly forbidden from attacking civilians. Throughout the settlement period there were periodic attacks on the Jewish settlers by the arabs. You have also mistated my position vis a vis Saddam. I did welcome Bush putting all the pressure on Saddam to get the inspectors back in after the UN capsized, but the issue to me was, once again, international law being used for the crimes committed by Saddam. I did believe he had WMD, and that has not been proven. What has been proven is that Saddam himself was a weapon of mass destruction. Furthermore, the essence of paranoia is the belief that someone is out to get us. 9/11 confirmed that someone is indeed out to get us and I don't want to make an error in the direction of allowing that crime to occur again. fred
