The lastest twist on destroying the villiage to save it...

The government is going to be running ads on how to be ready for a terrorist attack (yep, duct tape is still on the list).  They say the ads are designed to educate without scaring, but somehow I can't see too many ways the government can tell people how to be ready, without people somehow getting the idea that an attack is imminent. 


At any rate, part of the reason for the ad campaign is that the government is concerned that going to war against Iraq make make the country "more vulnerable to an attack".  The logic here just kills me (and I hope I'm meaning that figuratively).  One of the supposed justifications for the war is that Iraq may help sponsor terrorism and we need to get rid of Saddam to protect ourselves from potential terrorist attacks.  We just may make ourselves more likely to get attacked in the process.


The funny thing is, I don't remember falling through any rabbit holes....
