U.S. presidents don't usually do that right? right. in some respects all this is familiary territory--the neighborhood Hatfields and McCoys are at it again, and the country sherriff is trying to get them to cut it out--but in other ways it's new. On the down side, the stakes are very high, and most ways to resolve the situation have been tried and failed. And the suicide bombings are nasty development, as is the possibility of WMD use in decades to come. On the up side, however, there's no superpower rival around to make mischief or worry about, and there's no real prospect of interstate war. (Edward Luttwak did a decent piece in one of the newsmags last week sketching out just how such a war might emerge, and it struck me as being very far off.) I will repeat what I've said before--there are no good answers, people are making this up as they go along, and the more honest and intelligent the observer the less confident they are about what can and should be done. tb@ofcourseyou'reconfused,you'realwaysthreehoursbehind.com
