You are really quite good at picking a couple lines out of context when it suits your purposes, Nadine.

And you are really quite good at addressing everything but the content of an argument, Win. I addressed Sontag's whole argument, which is that Al Qaeda was at most a criminal gang who should be addressed by judicial means; "war" against such types is as metaphorical as the "war on drugs". I said that non-state actors can make war, and can be warred on, because they need the same safe havens, men and material, and command and control that state actors do. If you care to address this point, feel free. Debate is more than mere sarcasm.
