Spin Dry

From an article by Senator Fritz Hollings, which originally appeared in the Charleston Post and Courier (on May 6th, before all the Abu Ghraib photos started coming out):

With President Bush's domino policy in the Mideast gone awry, he keeps shouting, "Terrorism War." Terrorism is a method, not a war. We don't call the Crimean War with the Charge of the Light Brigade the Cavalry War. Or World War II the Blitzkrieg War. There is terrorism in Northern Ireland against the Brits. There is terrorism in India and in Pakistan. In the Mideast, terrorism is a separate problem to be defeated by diplomacy and negotiation, not militarily. Here, might does not make right -- right makes might. Acting militarily, we have created more terrorism than we have eliminated.

Indeed. Perhaps the Administration should change the name of W's Folly to The War to Create More Terrorism. Because that's exactly what they're going to do.

What am I saying...? That's exactly what this administration is doing, and sometimes, we're the terrorists. Unless this was just a wedding present gone horribly awry...
