#4 Yemen should have been a target after the Cole bombing. Hotbed of crazies and better situated to act as flypaper than Iraq. Of course I'm talking pre-911 when the smart folks thought all that Islamic threat stuff was all about trying to create a new Soviet threat out of nothing to justify defense spending. Gotta love the smart folk who are never really taken to task when they blow it big time.
