It's the "flying body parts" factor.

Ultimately, the most troubling aspect of the administration's present rush to war is its failure to treat the question of war and peace as the grave issue that it is

Al Jazera will publicize the human carnage of the US attack to the entire Arab world all day, every day, and much of the non-Arab world as well. Control of US reportage won't help. The inevitable result will be immediate and massive recruiting of suicide bombers for domestic attacks on US citizens. Rumsfeld let the cat out of the bag and called these "undeterrables", meaning simply that they cannot be deterred by massive attacks as are being planned for Iraq.

The result is clear: the planned Iraqi attacks could not be better designed to create domestic political chaos in the US.
