Vance's criticism of Senator Murray is idiotic, as is Vance's assertion
that we can't learn a lesson from "a madman." The wise person (or
nation) learns from enemies as well as friends. We learned a lesson
from Hitler and Hirohito, which is to prepare to fight the *next* war
(with its new tactics made possible by technological innovatations),
not the previous war. We need to re-learn the same lesson from bin
Laden and Saddam. -- Jason
Exactly. If we do not pay attention to what motivates all these people to follow bin Laden, we will see no end to the terror. Vance, for political gain, is blasting Senator Murray for saying what is really happening.
