Hi Sun Tzu; No, I am not promoting the idea of killing 5% of Iraq in order to "liberate" it. What I am doing is making stark our choices:

(a) Kill 5% of Iraq and roast in hell.

(b) Leave with our tails stuck firmly between our legs.

These are the choices that a moronic administration with no fear of painting itself into corners has brought us.

Most of us are illiterate and stupid. It will be some time before we figure out that the true choices are the above. Even then, a substantial number of people will vote for (a).

The problem with (a) is that the Arab capital is not Baghdad. It's Cairo. Just like it is impossible to attack Britain without eventually having to fight the Americans, it is also impossible to fight Iraq without also eventually having to fight the rest of the Arabs.
