Quote:Well, I'm not advocating savagery. If it is a fist fight, then one side shouldn't be required to wear boxing gloves. If it's a knife fight, then one side doesn't also get hand grenades. When terrorists convert old munitions into IEDs or drive explosives into crowded markets, you need a strategy of action, and not hand wringing or running away.

Do remember that you're talking about the already-stupendous mismatch of the world's most powerful military, with an army, navy, air force, intelligence services and nuclear arsenal, all of unparalleled strength, against a bunch of Iraqi militias improvising explosives out of widely available commodities.

You already came to the knife fight with an atom bomb. How much more advantage do you need before you don't have to resort to Guantanamo Bay?
