No matter how you go about it, you're looking at lots of deaths. But we've already got lots of deaths, and no end in sight. So lots of deaths with some hope of an eventual end to it would be a huge step up. Especially because this time it'll be mostly the guilty who get blown up.

And no, I haven't forgotten about Saddam or bin Laden. Or Kim Jong-Il. Or de Villepin, for that matter. Or Whitey Bulger. But we need to... Be Patient.
