...That is why wise nations try to keep the first form of terrorism from transmuting into the second. Arguably, Israel has allowed that evolution to occur. In the 1970s, the Palestine Liberation Organization, murderous though it was, was rigorously secular and advanced a conventional agenda for national liberation. For years Israel ignored it. The newer Palestinian terrorist groups, such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, see their cause in much more religious, millenarian terms; from Israel's standpoint, dealing with them is far more difficult...

...nation, one vote. This is the crux of the matter, and it riles the European soul that the giant in their midst prefers to be the Lone Ranger, not the community-minded cop. This game will not subside soon. But what is America's long-term interest? Is it wise to slap punitive tariffs on steel and almost double the subsidies for American farmers? The U.S. is also No. 1 in trade; it could not possibly flourish if barriers go up in retaliation, especially in agriculture where the U.S. is one of the most efficient producers...
