LILEKS (via THE ANCHORESS):
I’ve no doubt that if Seattle or Boston or Manhattan goes up in a bright white flash there will be those who blame it all on Bush. We squandered the world’s good will. We threw away the opportunity to atone, and lashed out.That was written on 9/11/03. RTWT. The end is expecially poignant.
Really? You want to see lashing out? Imagine Kabul and Mecca and Baghdad and Tehran on 9/14 crowned with mushroom clouds: that’s lashing out. Imagine the President in the National Cathedral castigating Islam instead of sitting next to an Imam who's giving a homily. Mosques burned, oil fields occupied, smart bombs slamming into Syrian palaces.
We could have gone full Roman on anyone we wanted, but we didn’t. And we won’t. Which is why this war will be long.

Can we say Korean War. That sucker is still going on.
We might have lost Vietnam, but at least that was had an end!
Unconditional surrender. That is the only way to go.
