There was a time when it would have been suicidal to threaten, much less
attack, a nation with much stronger military power because one of the
dangers to the attacker would be the prospect of being annihilated. "World
opinion," the U.N. and "peace movements" have eliminated that deterrent.
An aggressor today knows that if his aggression fails, he will still be
protected from the full retaliatory power and fury of those he attacked
because there will be hand-wringers demanding a cease fire, negotiations
and concessions. -- Thomas Sowell
