Deborah, you snipped too far.
Here is what was written:
The difference between now and WWII is that such people would not be
allowed to commit similar errors 12 years later, like...... attacking in
180 degrees the wrong direction.
Saddam could have waited. The people who are killing Americans, waging
jihad against our civilization and corrupting our leaders live in Riyadh.
****************************************************************************
Dr. Brin is not simply making "the North Korea argument" (i.e. isn't North
Korea or X a greater and more immediate threat traq?)
No, Dr. Brin has clearly called our failure to attack Riyadh "an error."
Now, maybe that's not what he intended (his most recent post basically
retracts the above comment as being "sardonic"), but I did not misstate the
actual words that were written.
