Andrew McCarthy: The End of the Right of Self-Defense? Israel, the World Court, and the War on Terror - '...Pitting the humanitarians against the very societies that have striven the hardest to abide by legal principles to the fullest practicable extent, it has aligned them instead with terrorists and insurgents sworn to the destruction of civilized law and of those who uphold it. If the views of the internationalists at the UN and the so-called humanitarians who support them are permitted to prevail, just how humane will be the world they would have us inhabit? It will be a world, of which our own may be a foreshadowing, where a fence that saves human lives can be routinely ruled a violation of human rights, and where barbarism increasingly runs unchecked.'
