New Continuing analogy
bin Laden is playing off the Afghanistan chessboard.

It's hard to play chess if you don't have a board. I can play chess in my head (blindfold chess?) but bin Laden or Hussein or whoever is responsible will find it hard to play terrorist chess without a country to support them.

bin Laden: 1.P-K4 (e4)

USA: 1. ... P-QB4 (c5)

(an oblique, but aggressive, approach.)
That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing [as freedom], on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms ... should be the last resource. - George Washington

New Hey guys: I think you've Got It\ufffd
And.. this further serves to point out the inanity - practised exclusively in the US? - of approaching Every problem from crime to education to poverty (!!) via this loathsome 'War On ___' utter BS model.

Maybe.. we can alter That little habit, too - as we are assuredly going to be revisiting very many other simplistic views we have: about 'us' and about the rest of the world.

For dead certain: we are going to be educated across a variety of topics, as this all unfolds (unless of course - we regress to a jingoistic Hermann Kahn spasm war as would destroy us all.)

I think.. we're now too smart for that, but - those temptations are always around.. especially when you possess the means to destroy most 'higher' lifeforms.
