Let Slip the Dogs of Prosecution - I've always felt queasy about the way the terrorist attacks on the US have come to be called "Nine Eleven" by pretty much everyone. I've preferred (in conversation as well as in this blog) to call it "The Attacks" or "The beginning of the War".

Indeed, that is the way we have to think about it, if we as a nation ever intend to end it all.

With Iraq, the prima facie case for war is to end the threat of a nuclear-armed Hussein. So - is it "law enforcement?" "Seeking non-proliferation?" Are either of those terms things for which Americans should risk their lives?
