/	I don't care what the UN says but I don't see any injustice in
/controlling the Golan.  Syria attacked, Syria lost it.  Syria attacked, Syria
/still lost it.  Too bad for her.

	ahh.  However, the injustice is not carried out against the Syrian
state per se, but the people who are living (lived) there.  People
dislocated/affected by an occupation suffer more that the "state".  Also,
establishing responsibility of any number of citizens for the actions of the
state becomes dubious the more totalitarian the state becomes.  Therefore,
to claim that Gov't of Syria is one big "thing" that adequately represents the
people, and that actions against them are justified because of the actions of 
the state is not necessarily correct.  So to say "too bad for Syria" ignores
the human dynamics of the situation.  
	
	--thinking of nations as "them" groups rather than as human beings is
the same type of problem.....


	Btw, what about the Jews in Syria?


/	Water cannons probably wouldn't be a good idea due to the small water
/supply.  Tear gas has been used, and Israel was still criticized.  Shields
/might be a good idea.

	Doesn't the Israeli Riot police (soldiers?) already use shields?
