No, it is "our" democracy and "our" liberty and freedom that Bush is talking about, our Western sanctuary that is under attack, not the vast place of terror and injustice that the Middle East has become.

Let me illustrate what I mean. Nineteen years ago today, the greatest act of terrorism - using Israel's own definition of that much misused word - in modern Middle Eastern history began. On 16th September 1982 Israel's Phalangist militia allies started the three day orgy of rape and murder and knifing in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila that cost 1,800 lives.

It followed an Israeli invasion of Lebanon - desinged to drive the Palestinian Liberation Organisation out of the country and given the green light by the then US Secretary of State Alexander Haig - which cost the lives of 17,500 Lebanese and Palestinians, almost all of them civilians.
