The war we are fighting today is much bigger, global and much more of a
direct threat to the citizens of this country. Iraq happens to be a
staging ground right now because there is no unified enemy in a central
location. Being in Iraq happens to draw them into sight and within range
because we can't be everywhere at once. The enemy is spread out
throughout the world and functions as an extremist religious sect. As
time wears on we may see some radical changes in the organization of our
defense and military .... smaller groups deployed in many areas. But that
type of change is monumental in scope and will take many years to
accomplish.


This conflict will require a much smarter approach. Unfortunately, much of
it must be hidden. And, what does NOT need to be hidden makes for lousy TV
footage, for those among us who need to see weapons in action in order to
think something is being accomplished. Or, in order to get a rush or an
erection, and then base their voting decisions on these sensations. War for
the sake of war is the result of a mind that never passed the age of 16.

My prediction is that the methods we tried in Iraq will be obsolete in the
near future.


You seem to forget that the NYTimes, the major media, and the ACLU don't
believe in 'hidden'.

At least you seem to believe that a threat *does* exist. That's a step in
the right direction.
