One of our Ministers has been spouting off in America about the War On Terror. In the heartland of the operation, he rubbished the idea. He attributed his belief to some high powered thinking on the part of the enemy. One would have thought that his father might have explained that the heart most often rules the brain in extremists and the thought processes he describes were never present in the minds of AQ, Taliban, Sunni, Shiite or those myriad other enemies we have created since 9/11.
What he now claims as Government attitude seems a perfect example of 20::20 hindsight. There were many back in, what, 2001 who advised more subtle approaches than Shock and Awe.
I despair.
