Sharon makes a very good point. The correct analogy for the Kosovo civil war
would be an uprising among the Israeli Arabs in the Galilee demanding
autonomy, not the Intifada going on in the occupied territories. I don't
think Nathan or Luke or anyone else would support bombing Israel on
condition that it withdraw its forces from northern Israel.
