A few days ago I remarked that I'd had a brilliant idea for an analogy with our Iraq "decapitation" policy, but had forgotten it (Memory: I used to have one!).
Well - I just recalled the analogy: British policy during the American Revolution. (The immediately preceding post to this one reminded me!)
The British assumed if they killed the head, the body would die.
They took New York.
They took Philadelphia.
They took Charleston.
Did it work? No.
We captured Saddam. We killed or captured all the 52-deck of 'most wanted' Baathists. We killed Zarqawi. Somehow the bad guys are still out there.
Stop the madness!
