Afghanistan was a good

attacks continue, it will have been a
waste of time and cruise missiles," says
Dr. Shmuel Gordon, a retired Israeli air
force colonel and a leading expert on
the use of air power against terrorism.
As Gordon sees it, "The struggle
against terrorists is a war of attrition,
one in which there can be no quick and
easy victory. If the forces opposing them
show sufficient determination, they can
be worn down and sometimes even
eliminated — as happened with the
Bader Meinhof group in Germany and
the Red Army in Japan.
However, the governments of demo-
cratic countries that fight terror must
enjoy the support of their citizenry, and
this is no simple
matter because
there is a greater
sensitivity to casu-
alties in democra-

guerrilla move-
ments and, in
addition, the latter

their interests."
Israel itself is
now facing a crisis in this respect, as
continuing casualties in Lebanon erode
public support for the struggle against
the Hezbollah. But leaving Lebanon,
Gordon claims, wouldn't solve any-
thing. To prove his point, he quotes a
statement made some months ago by
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Nassrallah,
who declared, "There will not be peace
as long as the Jewish enemy occupies
Palestine. Palestine belongs to
Palestinians, not to Jews. Only our
weapons and martyrs will bring peace
to the area."
What is required, says Gordon, is
not a withdrawal but a change in Israeli
tactics. As things stand now, he says, the
Israel Defense Forces devote most of
their efforts to defending themselves, so
that their units, outposts and convoys
have changed from predator to prey. In
a brochure published recently by the
BESA Center for Strategic Studies at
Bar-Ilan University, Gordon suggests an
alternative. The fight against the
