I went to school with a Palestinian "justice of the peace" in Nebraska in 1982 who spoke little English but conveyed that these community judges were under the Western model and were placed in the Israeli Army so they were subject to military discipline, even though they were nt actually militarily trained.

Wiley, I think struggles like this happen where people live.
They start to feel the need to defend their own turf.

Cynthia, this is very interesting.
This country can't control gang violence or drug abuse, never mind warring Muslim's factions in Iraq and in the US. I never thought for a second Iraq was invaded with the intention of creating a peaceful and democratic country. Why don't we plant apple seeds on the moon while we're at it. I suppose that's a negative attitude, but I'm a realist. Take care

afzal, someone on another blog site I write for said
"it couldn't happen here". I reminded him of a city called Sarajevo and a country called Yugoslavia, that now no longer exists. Back in the 1980's when the winter olympics was being held there they thought the same thing.
