A glossary of terms in foreign affairs

[Ed Jewett]

Thanks for all of this, Magda, though it'll take me until tomorrow to read it all. In fast glance, the issue of an Israeli short-range ballistic missile splashing down near a U.S. Navy Aegis cruiser reminds me of the USS Liberty incident and serves notice that the matters are -- um, er -- explosive. I think also of the Martin Creveld quote about Israel taking down the world around it to insure its survival. May sane heads prevail. Please.
