the what now??!! War affords the civility the
participants can reasonably relinquish. This seems to
me to relate to Thomas More's musing during times of
capital punishment over theft, in England that if a
thief was to be killed for his crime, then why should
he not kill to escape. So, here, most Iraqis must
know that they cannot win against any one of the
coalition nations in an all out war, let alone all of
them. If to them, being overrun by the infidels or
western imperialists, or whatever association the may
rightly or wrongly have, is the worst fate, then they
logically must do anything they can to circumvent
this. And they haven't even gone all that far yet.
Pending future outcomes, and a possible sign that high
ranking officials in Iraq are to be summarily
executed, or tried and executed (that is what the
intention is, no?) expect worse.
