'I believe that among the many surprises that came out of the war in Lebanon, the most dangerous is that the war let the Shi'ites out of the bottle. No one predicted that but if as a result we replace Palestine Liberation Organisation terrorism in Southern Lebanon with Shi'ite terrorism, we have done the worst thing in our struggle against terrorism. In twenty years of PL0 terrorism, no one PLO terrorist ever made himself into a live bomb.'
Yitzhak Rabin, Israel's defence minister in Feburary 1985.
