#3 Some historical reference and context:"We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them. " "These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act, and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate." Nearly 20 years of suicidal masochistic nuttery! </rant> |

| #1 The Vietnam War was a limited hot war (for the US) in the context of a global Cold War. The 9/11 War which now seems officially lost has been anything but a limited war for the US and the West. Twenty years of masochistic insanity have culminated in a humiliating debacle. No sane and rational adversary will take Western deterrence seriously anymore. |
