...United States to use the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon as an opportunity to mete out punishment on all of America’s old enemies. These demands come from inside and outside Washington, and particularly from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Much like a small town sheriff rounding up the usual suspects, leaders like Secretary Rumsfeld have suggested that we bomb not only Afghanistan, but also Iraq, Syria and anyone else who has recently looked at a U.S. diplomat the wrong way.

And in a mean frontier town, a sheriff whose priority is keeping out of harm's way is always in danger of being ineffective - or worse.
