Declaring war on a tactic seems odd; it's like we declared a war on the blitzkrieg in WW2. Even Chris Matthews compared it to declaring a war on surprise attacks after Pearl Harbor. At least Lou Dobbs isn't fooled.
On my pessimistic days, i view the goals of this war as keeping Musharraf in power, giving Arafat his Palestinian state and preserving the perverted, perfumed princes in their tragic kingdom.
And in the meantime, Pakistan's nuclear arsenal keeps growing and that Saudi Missile base is apparently operational.
Forcing Israel to kowtow to the State Dept's Arabists and placating the Arabs is a never ending task. Nothing will make them happy except the destruction of Israel. But slowly, awareness of the shortcomings of appeasing the arabislamists seems to be growing; nowhere near fast enough for me and i suspect for you too.
