1. We recognize that our enemies are
individual, criminal, terrorist thugs,

4. We spend 30 or 40 billion... and identify the individual criminal
terrorist

Bad policy to look upon them as criminals. They think of themselves as at
war, we should do likewise, lest we unduly limit our own options.


We got stung by killer bees, so we decided to show them who was boss. We
picked
up a big stick, and started whacking on the hive. Sure, we're killing a
few
bees- but we're making the rest of the swarm mad as hell. Not all that
smart,
but, then again.........

True... maybe we'd have been better off burning the whole damn hive in one
move.
