Unfortunate he is very right (10) To win against a more powerful enemy, one forces him to fight a kind of war for which he isn't prepared. Iraq lost the Gulf War because it fought exactly the kind of war in which American forces are unbeatable: Hussein played to his weaknesses and our strengths. The Vietnamese did the opposite. They defeated us by fighting a guerrilla war that didn't give us anything to hit. They understood us. We didn't understand them. The Moslem world is doing the same thing. Because their troops, or terrorists as we call them, are not sponsored by a country, we don't know who to hit. Note that Yasser Arafat, bin Laden, and the Taliban are all denying any part in the destruction of New York. At best, we might, with our creaky intelligence apparatus, find Laden and kill him. It's not worth doing: Not only would he have defeated America as nobody ever has, but he would then be a martyr. Face it: The Arabs are smarter than we are.

True, what are we gonna do in retaliation? Talk about our feelings and send some real nasty memos.... Aren't there any known terrorists in the U.S. that we can raid? Aren't there any known terrorist camps in the world that we can strategically bomb? Isn't there any Islamic Fundamentalist leader we can kidnap and hold? No, let's just talk about it and wait for them to fly a 747 Jumbo right through the Sears Tower, it's a sitting duck.

Fred makes a serious mistake. He confuses the Warrior Spirit, or lack thereof, with gender.
