It is as if wholly catastrophic destruc- tion were much more than the regrettable death and suffering of individuals, but actually an altogether appropriate instance of divine justice. With such apocalyptic imaginations, logic inevitably yields to passion, and technology can make the surrender ominous- ly complete. Little did anyone realize before the dawn of the nuclear age that destructive technology would eclipse the dimming voice of logic.2 Today, technology has unlocked the atom's secrets, and terrorists, as well as particular states, may exploit it.3 The Middle East has grown steadily inured to the pain and anguish of "others."

This question preoccupied U.S. officials during much of the Cold War, when numerous allies and partners considered acquiring the bomb. In the immediate post-Cold War era, its importance has diminished. Most friendly countries that once considered nuclear weapons abandoned these ambitions. The few that hadn’t, such as Israel and Pakistan, already acquired the bomb by 1991. Thus, the proliferation concerns of the first two decades after the Cold War mainly revolved around small, hostile nations like North Korea, Iran, and Libya. This has begun to change. Saudi Arabia is pursuing the capabilities to build its own nuclear weapons, and its leaders have openly threatened to do so if Iran goes nuclear.

  • The Sadistic Glorification of Terror
    The Sadistic Glorification of Terror November 30, 2002 By Robbie Friedmann This weekend Americans celebrated Thanksgiving with greater appreciation for its meaning than in many years in recent history aware of the terror dangers lurking around the corner. The president visited and welcomed the new members of NATO and informed Lithuania that "You are joining the strong and growing family of NATO. Our alliance has made a solemn pledge of protection, and anyone who would choose Lithuania as an enemy has also made an enemy of the United States of America" ("Bush urges new NATO nations to fight terrorism," USA Today, 11/23/2002). While an encouraging prospect for new alliances, Lithuania is not exactly a country that is under a threat of terrorism (but it has a known history of willingly collaborating with the Nazis). Yet the one country that has been the foremost victim of international terrorism, namely Israel, has yet to be offered to join NATO ("Israel should join NATO," Editorial, The Jerusalem Post, Nov. 23, 2002). If indeed fighting terrorism is recognized as becoming NATO's mission (as it should be) then the one country that NATO needs to add to its ranks is Israel. This is not so much for the military protection that NATO could offer Israel but more so to make a statement that Israel belongs to a family of nations and does not stand alone in its fight against terrorism. Proof of this point is offered by the arrests made in England, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and now Kenya, of those suspected of involvement in or supporting terrorism.

Conflicts are resolved "with gas and with bomb."

  • Assassinating Saddam Hussein: the View from International Law
    ASSASSINATING SADDAM HUSSEIN: THE VIEW FROM INTERNATIONAL LAW Louis Rend Beres, Ph.D.' With war against Iraq an increasingly probable event,** the question of assassination looms large in American operational planning. Whether or not such high-level political killing of Saddam Hussein would be in the overall best interests of the United States or its allies is certainly a vital question, but one I will now leave for others. The question to be considered here asks rather if such assassination could be permissible under international law. Following a general jurisprudential assessment of this question, I will examine this issue of permissibility with special reference to counter-terrorism. Understood as tyrannicide' (killing a tyrant) within a country, assassina- tion has often been accepted as lawful. Support for such a form of assassina- tion can be found in Aristotle's POLITICS, Plutarch's LIVES, and Cicero's DE OFFICIS. According to Cicero:2 There can be no such thing as fellowship with tyrants, nothing but bitter feud is possible: and it is not repugnant to nature to despoil, if you can, those whom it is a virtue to kill; nay, this pestilent and godless brood should be utterly banished from human society. For, as we amputate a limb in which the blood and the vital spirit have ceased to circulate, because it injures the rest of the body, so monsters, who under human guise, conceal the cruelty and ferocity of a wild * Louis Ren6 Beres received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1971 and is currently Professor of Political Science and International Law at Purdue University.
