Oh yes. Everyone gets in bed with terrorists- but sometimes they are "just like our founding fathers..." When is a terrorist not a terrorist? When he does what you like, then he's a "freedom fighter". Blech That's why I like international law, and rules- and more of 'em. Ish's doctrine of "let's invade before there is a threat" is no way to run a world- at least not the kind of stable reasonable world I want to live in- it might be the way the Borg work though. You could make a good Star Wars show out of Ish's doctrine- though it's kind of been done already. But it's so relevant it could be done again- a useful and instructive metaphor.
