Maybe if Saddam had tried to kill Blair's daddy the Brits be more willing to bankrupt themselves forcing democracy onto people who don't want it.

Neither Britain nor the US has the power to "force" democracy in the Middle East. All we can do is offer it to the people as our Plan A. If this doesn't work and terrorism against the civilized world continues, then we'll use Plan B: do as many Dresdens as it takes to make them surrender unconditionally.

Plan B should have been started on 9/12. THEN, they would have been more interested in plan A.

"...then we'll use Plan B: do as many Dresdens as it takes to make them surrender unconditionally."

Which should have been Plan A.

A dedicated enemy will never reciprocate the consideration of sparing his family while trying to kill him.
He will see that as a sign of weakness and indecision..

It appears our politicians have the will to risk our warriors in a politically correct and dangerous ROE environment -- but not the will to kill the enemy in LARGE numbers....laying waste to vast areas that support the enemy.
