Brilliant characterization of the Neocons' strategy. Essentially, it amounts to "whacking a hornet's nest in order to get the hornets out in the open and force a showdown. You can have a spirited debate over whether such a strategy ought to be supported. The problem is that once it's just us and the hornets, we really won't have any choice."

And that is the idea --- preempt public debate by provoking terrorist attacks.
