Dear Editor,

When in human history has a country started a war, lost, and then dictated terms after the war is over? The Shabaa Farms area of Syria was lost to Israel forty years ago, and Syria and Hezbollah are still demanding that it be returned [See Lebanon’s Three-Sided Postwar Game: Who Gets Shabaa Farms? Sept.24, 2006]. What Arab countries need to understand is that there is a price for starting a war. If you lose, don't expect “take backs.”
