Good GodI spoke too soon. Saddam's letting in the inspectors. Well, we can hope for disarmament. In the meantime, here's a good passage from an October New Yorker, on the target for a proper War on Terror(ism). The idea is that Syria's Beka'a Valley is the real breeding-and-training ground for international terrorists, including those from al Qaeda and Hezbollah:
The chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, Bob Graham, of Florida, says he wants the Administration's war on terrorism to focus not on Iraq but on Hezbollah, its Beka'a Valley camps, and its state sponsors in Iran and Syria. "We should tell the Syrians that we expect them to shut down the Beka'a Valley camps within x number of days, and, if they don't, we are reserving the right to shut them down ourselves," Graham said last month.
Sure we should. But war in Iraq is an easier sell.
