In the NYT there's been scathing coverage of US troop deployment in the PI. Here are links to abstracts of some op ed pieces by Nicolas Kristof: query.nytimes.com query.nytimes.com query.nytimes.com There's been coverage in the Village Voice, also. In other places I'm not aware of, too, I'm sure. There's also considerable discussion in the US on the subject of which is likely in the end to be worse for us, just marginalizing Saddam while not neutralizing his nuclear and BCW facilities, or dealing with scenarios like the ones you project. One does so hope that the decision makers under Bush are very smart and very informed.... And we're doing the standard thing, fighting the terrorism that threatens us, of course. The definition of terrorism that prevails is the targeting killing of innocent civilians for purposes of intimidation. I just had a thought: Maybe the explicit acceptance by us of that definition will present a constraint on actions of ours in support of US interests such as that that took place (with our support) in the 70's and 80's in Central America (assassination of school teachers, labor leaders, radical priests, other opinion leaders.) Calling the assassins of school teachers "freedom fighters" might not pass muster under the administration policies as now articulated.
