the world is in deep sleep, which of course makes it easier for nightmares to prolifirate.

This is what they meant by, "taking the war to them."
A few well placed CIA bombs caused a civil war in Iraq. I don't trust a thing the TV tells me these days. Sunni vs. Shi'ite? Yeah right:

In 1920, the Arab and Kurdish people of Mesopotamia revolted against the British occupation, which cost the British dearly. As the Mesopotamian resistance gained strength, the British resorted to increasingly repressive measures. Much speculation was made about aerial bombardment of major cities with gas in Mesopotamia, with Winston Churchill, then-Secretary of State at the British War Office, arguing in favor of it. In the 1920s generals reported that poison had never won a battle. The soldiers said they hated it and hated the gas masks. Only the chemists spoke out to say it was a good weapon.
WMD and a cup of tea, then?
