Nothing is as dangerous in war as striking but not defeating an enemy, showing contempt without the real ability to humble and humiliate him.

This is the mistake our enemy has made, and had we listened to the anti-war (actually they are more anti-Bush than anti-war) left, we would have made the same mistake by stopping in Afghanistan and not going to Iraq.

Put another way: when you see a rabid dog, you either kill him or leave him alone... don't just kick him
