 Palestinians - The Peace Encyclopedia
The nations of the world recognized this after World War I when the League of Nations determined that the geographical area called Palestine was to become a homeland for the Jewish people, the people that had been continuously associated with this land since ancient times when it was known as Judea and Samaria.
Parkes stated that "in the wars between villages it was far too common a practice to cut down fruit trees and olives and to destroy crops, and this in the end caused as much loss of life through hunger as was caused by the actual casualties of fighting".
Palestinian Arab nationalism is largely a post-World War I phenomenon that did not become a significant political movement until after the 1967 Six-Day War and Israel's capture of the West Bank.

 The Ongoing Geopolitical Game in the Caucasus and the Caspian Basin: Towards War or Peace?
Despite the idea that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict triggered a chain of destabilizing events that led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and accelerated the liberation of the former Soviet republics, in fact it was a distraction for the countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Similar to the “Great Game” of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which pitted the British interests against those of the Russian Empire and the German Reich, a new geopolitical game in the Transcaucasus and Eurasia has emerged since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
For that reason, it is quite clear that behind the calls for peaceful resolution, the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict remains part of Russia's ruthless attempt to keep the Caucasus weak, unstable and divided--and to prevent an oil route from materializing.

WP: "Republicans have done such a good job framing the invasion of Iraq as part of a 'war on terror' that bad news from Baghdad is casting doubts on the anti-terrorism effort, [pollster Andrew] Kohut said.
The number of roadside bombs planted in Iraq rose in July to the highest monthly total of the war, offering more evidence that the anti-American insurgency has continued to strengthen despite the killing of the terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
But perhaps such rhetoric reflects the intellectual contortions required to sustain the illusion that the war in Iraq is central to the war on terrorism, and that the war, unlike 'the law enforcement approach,' does 'work.'" (Via Matt).
