New That would be the Decent, the Honorable, the American thing
to do. It would even be strategically correct - if management had the brains of a tick. Wah'haabis ARE the force behind Taliban, yada yada.

If we weren't a bunch of hypocritical wimps, prostituting for oil - because we can't restrain our appetites for silly cars?

But, we are. It seems. :(



{sigh}

We have no shame - just melodrama.

New And I suspect
that she may have that third option in mind. Not that she thinks she will force the issue - you don't attain her rank without a decent grasp of How Things Work - but one more tweak.

Because there is one thing this suit will do, win or lose, unless it gets buried. And that is point out the nature of what it is we are directly defending over there. Indirectly, we are defending our collective right as Americans to have a foregn policy. But the direct "freedom" we are most directly defending is the freedom of a particularly corrupt family of Bin Laden supporters to tyranize a nation and oppress the women of that nation. Yes, I see that they are useful to our foreign policy, and maybe it is good policy. But let's not be blind to what we are doing.
