I know, I should probably follow mine own advice, especially when I back it up with Yeats. But. I have always thought that we should have attacked Iraq first. Afghanistan may have been a refuge and a training ground for the Qaida, but I don’t think anyone ever thought it was funding them. Let’s make the dangerous assumption that putting the big foot of justice down has somehow ended what’s-his-name’s life, his bodyguards now assigned to other duties. Who cares? Mr SH will find yet another cat’spaw to fund attacks on whomever he pleases. If we had attacked Iraq while seizing al Qaida assets, we may not have achieved the quick satisfaction that catching a rat engenders, but we certainly would have less of plague to fear. (!!! That whole paragraph was a bit catachretical, hm? Edit the conceit later.)
