I do not doubt John McCain's courage; I seriously doubt his wisdom. I do
not doubt John McCain's perseverance; but must always oppose his folly in
his determination to pursue a silly course, calculated to prolong the War
on Terror for generations to come.

Given an enemy without a country of their own; without an army, navy or
air force; with only an ability to recruit a small number of fanatics,
willing to kill themselves in order to inflict harm on the citizens of
legitimate nations; what is the worst possible response to the threat that
they pose? Surely it is to glamorize them; to rhetorically suggest that
they are the defining threat of the Century--the age. Surely the McCain
response is the one best calculated to help that enemy recruit more cannon
fodder to cause mischief all over the Western World.

The correct response: Speak softly. Work with all established Nations to
isolate the terrorists--they are after all denying the sanctity of
borders; the legitimacy of all nations. And then quietly mop up Al Qaida,
those international criminals who threaten our citizens. No that does not
sound dramatic in a political debate. But the McCain course is too costly
in lives and treasure to be further indulged.
