Amir, Jane's is usually pretty good, though they aren't always right. If Israel really gave the US warning of a massive attack, then in 20 years, schoolboys will be saying Dubya knew about it and wanted them to do it. And whoever is making boring and incredibly inaccurate historical movies will film the equivalent of the recent "Pearl Harbor," changing America into the villain.
One thing I thought was important in the report: most Americans think that if we kill Bin Laden, it is game, set and match. As if he was the only nutburger in the world. Also, Dubya's dad should have finished the job on Saddam, whether he was involved in this or not. I still don't understand why we put Americans and allies at risk and then allowed him to get off scott free.
Oh, well, I also don't understand why my taxes are paying Airline execs seven figure salaries. So, I guess I don't understand a lot of things.
However, I do think that if the word "crusade" was unfortunate, it's length of time is appropriate. If we do this right, a big if, there will be anti-terrorist operations going on in 20 years. |
