His men barrage Task Force 1/9's base with rockets and mortars every two or three days, knowing that the Americans will rarely fire back. "I can fire from anywhere I like. Go on, pick a spot.

The disease mimics an exaggerated form of the stress that highly trained athletes inflict on their muscles. To restore the balance in favor of regeneration, researchers are isolating the myriad growth factors and other biochemical compounds that regulate the musclemaking factory...

And military actions produce their own logic of escalation. When Palestinians inflict losses on the IDF - such as last week's ambushes in which Israel lost 13 men in two APCs blown up by roadside bombs - the Israeli military's own doctrines of deterrence demand that it hit back even harder...
