Unfortunately, the Israelis can show the Arabs that they cannot destroy Israel only by enduring the violent war of attrition that the Arabs are pursuing.

Enraged by a sense of social injustice, the reds rail against the establishment s double standards, while the pro establishment yellows have hunkered down for a battle of attrition.

In recent months, China has launched a new war of attrition by sending patrol ships frequently to the waters around the Japanese controlled Senkaku islands, which China calls Diaoyu.

Moreover, there seems no obvious way to speed up the process of convincing the Arabs that Israel is here to stay except by making this war of attrition as costly as possible for them.

The zone even covers the sky over the Leodo (Suyan) Reef, a submerged rock that both South Korea and China claim. As China escalates its campaign of attrition against a resolute Japan, it increases the risk of armed conflict, whether by accident or miscalculation.

In the physical world, governments have a near monopoly on large scale use of force, the defender has an intimate knowledge of the terrain, and attacks end because of attrition or exhaustion.

If a company is found to treat its employees poorly or behave unethically, even if regulators don't step in, it can face costly consequences from consumer boycotts, employee attrition and lawsuits, Quinlan said.

But it is no exaggeration to state that whenever Britain has perceived an opportunity to wage a war of attrition against the European supranational project, it has done so, opposing any substantial increase in the EU s competences or resources.

The negotiating formula of land for peace and breakthroughs like the Oslo accords failed to dampen the conflict because the Arabs understandably interpret Israeli concessions as signs of weakness. Unfortunately, the Israelis can show the Arabs that they cannot destroy Israel only by enduring the violent war of attrition that the Arabs are pursuing.

A more useful definition of cyber waris hostile action in cyberspace whose effects amplify or are equivalent to major physical violence. In the physical world, governments have a near monopoly on large scale use of force, the defender has an intimate knowledge of the terrain, and attacks end because of attrition or exhaustion.

By guile and by bluster, by night and by day, I battered and scattered the fools from my way.

With half of all current civil servants set to retire over the next ten years, Sarkozy has pledged to replace only one of every two. In 2007, the attrition rate was one out of three short of the pledge, but a sharp reversal from previous decades, in which the ranks of civil servants grew significantly faster than private sector employment.
