WAR ON IRAQ MAY CREATE THE SADDAM-AL QAEDA LINK THAT POWELL COULDN'T PROVE |
So the world's television screens will be filled with images of dead and dying,
many of them women and children, as well as scenes of wretched refugees
streaming in hordes from American bombs.
And each picture will be a recruiting poster for al Qaida, the Muslim terrorist
organization.Thus we will increase the likelihood of terrorism rather than
reduce it. (The link between Saddam and al Qaida was perhaps the weakest part
of Secretary Powell's presentation but if there's one thing that can bond those
natural enemies in common cause, it's a war against the United States.)
Which brings us to what I thought was the most terrifying inference to be drawn
from Powell's information. It is now perfectly obvious that it is all but
impossible to defend ourselves against an attack by terrorists using biological
agents.
When you can poison an entire city with a little vial of something, how do you
keep that stuff out of the wrong hands?
A war isn't going to do it. Neither will killing Saddam. We're pretty much
helpless against a weapon like that.
So why go out of your way to inflame the passions of the Muslim world?
