And the crisis between the Israelis and the Palestinians, with its potential for poisoning relations between the U.S. and moderate regimes in the Muslim world, seems as intractable as ever.

Such an approach will perpetuate the need for always increasing military expenditures. A recent report from the National Intelligence Council identifies the AIDS epidemic as a threat to global and regional security because of its potential to disrupt the military, political and social aspects of key countries including China, Russia and India.
