Both Kerry and clinton fail to understand that:
- a terrorist war requires only one consenting player
- defining bin Laden's acts of war as "crimes'' is a dangerous, anachronistic, postmodern conceit (It doesn't depend on what the meaning of the word "war" is) and amounts to surrender
- preemptive action, and even more so, preventative action, serve a necessary, critically protective, as well as offensive function in any war on terror.
Astute, and more importantly, accurate, points you make here, T.
