<the sounds of MOABs falling on the perpetrators>
Suppose, tomorrow, a nuclear weapon, from an unknown source, explodes in Los Angeles. And an anonymous but credible message tells us, such attacks will continue, until all U.S. soldiers are withdrawn from all Muslim nations. Where are you going to drop the MOABs? Can't carpet-bomb everything from Morrocco to Indonesia. Even if you could, maybe the terrorists live in Detroit. Or Paris. Or, if not a nuclear weapon, then a dirty bomb, or chemical or biological weapon, take your pick.
The lesson our enemies learn, from Iraq, may not be the ones you want them to learn.
I see the U.S., at about the same place France was under Napolean, in about 1809. We are triumphant, exultant, victorious, violent. Firmly convinced of our inherent and permanent superiority. Force worked, so we'll keep doing what works.
