True enough, but when you have a pack of mad dogs on the loose you don't engage in
a research campaign on the virology of rabies. You go after the mad dogs.

Have you read the PNAC Statement of Principles?

Are you absolutely sure that 9/11 was due to incompetence and that the Iraq war
was a mistake? If things are playing out exactly as the neocons want (with Bush
as a very dispensable sacrificial fall-chimp) then your complex causes are
irrelevant to the true problem.

Sometimes complex systems (like an automobile, for instance) have troubles functioning
for simple reasons (like they're out of gas).
