To the Editor:
As our experience with the Barbary States, and as Israel's history shows, one can make peace with a state. No one knows how to make peace with a non-state actor, be it on the Indian Ocean or in Tora Bora. As long as failed states are permitted to fester, they will harbor threats to the rest of the world. We may not like the states that would emerge in such places, but it is not for us to choose their governments. What we cannot tolerate is a haven for criminals beyond the reach of law.
Barry Levine
