	Encyclopedia article: Balance of terror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This article is about the Cold War (A state of political conflict using means short of armed warfare) policy.
		It describes the tenuous peace that existed between the two countries as a result of both governments being terrified at the prospect of a world-destroying nuclear war.
		Previously, the empires had prevented war between each other by maintaining a relative balance of their ability (economic, military, and political) to wage war against each other--the phrase "balance of power (An equilibrium of power between nations) " was often used to describe this kind of tentative peace.

	The Balance of Terror
		Terrorism is generally understood to be a form of politically inspired violence that is distinguishable in some manner from "conventional" war.
		When the balance of power shifts in favor of a particular actor, it can negotiate concessions from other actors peacefully if the new balance of power is acknowledged by them (and, hence, implicit in their negotiating positions).
		Terrorism became a more effective instrument of policy for the PLO after its leadership announced its support for a two-state solution in the 1970s because the demand for an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza did not constitute a negation of Israeli nationalism.

		Keeping the balance of power on the European continent was a cornerstone of British diplomacy-the concept being that if one power or coalition of powers got too strong, the weaker states would make an alliance to combat it.
		After World War II the idea of the balance of power was in some ways superceded by what was termed the "balance of terror," but balance of power diplomacy is always present in one form or another.
		Balance of power politics is also a factor in the U.S.'s decision to normalize relations with Vietnam.

		The purpose of this atomization of the globalized ‘balance of terror’ was twofold: a) to instill stability at the core of the two competing political universes and b) to ‘police’ lesser or emergent powers by restricting their policy options to a ‘necessary choice’ between the existing Cold War politico-military and socio-economic camps.
		This balance of terror was therefore a deliberate, purposeful, and sustained impression of intense fear in an adversary predicated upon an ethos of immeasurable violence.
		In the end, the balance of terror discouraged either side from attacking the other or from attempting to unilaterally alter the status quo in Europe: their primary line of ‘defense.’ The Cold War functioned differently in the so-called Third World particularly in regard to its imaginary.

		Comments from Washington have been less satisfactory, with US spokesmen maintaining a careful balance between the forces of law and order and the opposition, calling on both sides to exercise "restraint".
		Not for the first time, it is is hard to avoid the impression that double standards are being applied: while George Bush promotes the cause of freedom in Iraq, Ukraine and Lebanon, but he merely pays lip service to it in Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Palestine.

		We often speak of the "balance of power." It was this that we used, for instance, as a pretext for the security arrangements that make the Gulf states dependent on foreign powers.
		Now we are confronted by another term, "the balance of terror," which emerged some two weeks ago when American forces were ordered away from the Gulf and off the military base in Bahrain, and the US administration cancelled joint training programmes with Jordan.
		What the US administration seems to be unaware of is that the Palestinians too have access to the instruments of the balance of terror; where negotiations fail to accomplish the desired effect, a single suicide bombing could well force the Israelis to withdraw.

	The Delicate Balance of Terror
		But because the balance of terror is supposed, almost universally, to assure us that all-out war will not occur, advocates of graduated deterrence have proposed to fix the limits of limited conflict in ways which neglect this danger.
		Moreover, since they have almost all assumed a balance of terror making deterrence nearly effortless, their dissatisfaction with deterrence might very well deepen if they accept the view presented here, that deterrence is most difficult.
		The balance of terror theory is the basis for some of the more light-hearted suggestions: if deterrence is automatic, strategic weapons on one side cancel those of the other, and it should be easy for both sides to give them up.

		Americans and their leaders make a huge mistake when they think of the war on terrorism as a mechanistic problem — that is, if the CIA can kill or capture enough terrorists, they will disappear.
		Instead of eliminating the threat of terrorism, the war with Iraq could generate small but deadly attacks by embedded al-Qaeda cells that exist in Europe and elsewhere, according to French magistrate and leading terrorist fighter Jean-Louis Bruguiere.
		The British are a particular target, given their alliance with the United States and the presence of a large and still relatively clandestine al-Qaeda network in Europe.

		Easily the best dramatic episode of the original “Star Trek” series, “Balance of Terror” is the very essence of what great television drama should be.
		“Balance of Terror” is an excellent study in military drama, and one of the finest examples of the ‘one individual/ship is all that stands between the world/universe and war’ scenario ever played in popular entertainment.
		Well-written, well-acted, and brilliantly directed, “Balance of Terror” plays like a master’s game of chess, carried through an atmosphere of tension so thick that it feels like a physical thing, so magnetic that it is almost impossible to look away once the action begins.

		We previously experienced a confrontation between two nuclear superpowers throughout the Cold War, a period characterised by a "balance of terror," otherwise known as the doctrine of mutual assured destruction (MAD).
		The American administration has set itself up not only as the arbiter of terrorism, the ultimate authority on who is a terrorist and who is not, but also on who is authorised to possess nuclear weapons and who is not.
		Such was the case with the war against Iraq after its invasion of Kuwait, and such is the case with the recognition in the present of a Palestinian state.

		The century opened with a burst of global terrorism, but this threat must not be allowed to undermine the precepts of international humanitarian law, which is founded on the key principles of limitation and proportionality.
