May 3, 2002 -- A TERRIBLE war crime has been committed in the West Bank. It will have far-reaching and heartbreaking consequences. But it has nothing to do with lies about an imaginary massacre in Jenin. The war crime - committed brazenly before a global audience - is the occupation of the Church of the Nativity, in Bethlehem, by Palestinian terrorists.

Good points. Unfortunately, the "White Man's Burden" prohibits holding it against the "uncivilized" Arabs.

The Palestinians stole a lesson from, of all people, Gandhi, though they corrupted it hideously. Despite his litany of complaints about British inhumanity, Gandhi knew the British courts in India would never hang him, and he turned London's sense of decency and fair play - as well as the rule of law - against the British themselves.

Unfortunately, the Arabs learned the wrong lesson from Gandhi. If they had followed his example, they would have had a settlement a long time ago.

Dang-it. I never did appreciate the writings of then MAJ Peters when growing up in the Army, and most of the people I know who either trained with him or trained him in his chosen branch - Military Intelligence - had little use for him.

But this time, he is right on target with his criticism.
Well, I'd like to think I'm fair, so..

Give 'Em Hell, Sir!
