"'Those who wish to enjoy peace must be ready for war.', [Epaminondas] lectured them [in 370BCE], 700 years before Vegetius's more famous Roman dictum, Qui desiderat pacem, praeparat bellum." --- Victor Davis Hanson 1999 _The Soul of Battle: From Ancient Times to the Present Day, How 3 Great Liberators Vanquished Tyranny_ pg54

"In short 'the whole of [Israel] west of the Jordan was thus excluded from sir Henry MacMahon's pledge'. The authority here speaking was Winston Churchill when, as colonial secretary in 1922, he lopped off trans-Jordan from the rest of [Israel]. No one, neither Feisal [Faisal] nor [T.E. Lawrence] nor Weizmann nor Sykes nor the cabinet nor anyone else, thought of the promise to the Arabs as conflicting with the still inchoate plans for the Zionists, or even with the Balfour declaration once it was issued. A huge bulk of territory was covered by the MacMahon promise to the Arabs, but not what Balfour used to call the 'small notch' that was [Israel & Palestine] proper. (The area of Palestine under the mandate, excluding trans-Jordan, was 10,434 square miles [just over 102 x 102 miles or 4-10 USA counties] or about 1% of the Arab territories liberated in 1918 (now the states of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon). The proportion in area is about the same as that of Belgium to the whole of continental Europe west of Russia.) All the Arab claims of later years cannot conceal the fact that both the old sherif Hussein and Feisal, the active leader, were cognizant of and acquiesced in the exclusion of [Israel & Palestine] from the area of their promised independence, whether or not they had any mental reservations. Even after the British intention to make room in [Palestine & Israel] for the Jews was made public they did not take exception. When the Zionist Commission headed by Weizmann came to [Israel] in 1918, while the guns were still firing, it was greeted by an article in the Mecca paper, published under sherif Hussein's name, that exhorted the Arabs to welcome the Jews as brethren and to co-operate for the common welfare. Weizmann visited Feisal at his desert head-quarters in Amman, and there under the stars, with the omnipresent Lawrence making the third of a remarkable trio, the basis for a common understanding was reached. Later, in Paris, it was put in the form of a written document, signed by Feisal and Weizmann, in which the emir agreed to 'the fullest guarantees for carrying into effect the British government's [Balfour] declaration of 1917 November 2, [including] all necessary measures to encourage and stimulate immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale'. Feisal moreover addressed a letter to the American Zionist delegates at the peace conference saying that the Arabs and Jews 'are working together for a reformed and revived Near East', that the Arabs wish the Jews 'a most hearty welcome home', that 'there is room in Syria for us both', and that 'indeed, I think that neither can be a real success without the other'. Only later, after [Hussein's] Hashemite family failed to unify all the Arab lands and people, when they were pushed out of Syria and lost Arabia to ibn Saud, did a new set of Arab leaders maintain that Britain's pledge to the Jews had conflicted from the beginning with Britain's pledge to the Arabs. Only then was the MacMahon correspondence un-earthed and construed as a casus belli. By this time the British, caught in the high tide of appeasement, were themselves engaged in a double effort to repudiate the Balfour declaration and the terms of the mandate and to look righteous while doing it... but there still remained participants in the original transaction willing to re-state the facts. Feisal, Sykes, Lawrence, and Balfour were all dead before 1935, but Ormsby-Gore, who had served in the Arab bureau throughout the negotiations made it clear in parliament that 'it was never in the mind of anyone on that staff, that Palestine west of the Jordan [i.e. Israel, minus the concession East of the Jordan] was in the area within which the British government then undertook to further the cause of Arab independence'. [What was often called] Palestine west of the Jordan was the Holy Land [i.e. Israel], and it would never havedone at all to leave the Holy Land under Moslem rule. Moreover the French absolutely refused to consent to Arab rule in Syria. But the chief reason why Britain left [Palestine & Israel] out of the pledged area was that military necessity was making her moral duty clearer than ever: Britain must occupy the place herself. 'The insistent logic of the military situation on the banks of the Suez canal' had made this conclusion inescapable. The words were those of the Manchester Guardian's military correspondent, Herbert Sidebotham. On 1915 November 22, the Guardian, in an editorial written by Sidebotham, opened its campaign for the restoration of Israel... under a British protectorate. 'There can be no satisfactory defense of Egypt or the Suez canal so long as [the area] is in the occupation of a hostile or probably hostile Power.', it stated." --- Barbara Wertheim Tuchman 1956, 1984, 2011 _Bible and Sword: England and Palestine from the Bronze Age to Balfour_ pp328-331

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.
