		<description><![CDATA[On of the great questions about the Iraq War concerns finding the right metaphor.  Is it the movie &#8220;Groundhog Day&#8221;, in which Bill Murray repeats the same day endlessly &#8212; until he achieves enlightenment?  Or is it the Long Game, round after round of whack-a-mole?  Compare and contrast these news stories, highlighted today by Juan Cole at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I love reading about our awesome new COIN tactics.  Sophisticated info ops, winning hearts and minds of the locals &#8211; so unlike our Vietnam era tactics of

intensive use of air power,

		<description><![CDATA[Summary:  This report is just a sketch, some thoughts that hopefully spark discussion about America&#8217;s rush to war. It proposes the following:

There is as yet insufficient evidence that America is threatened sufficiently to justify the large-scale mobilization of citizens that we call &#8220;war.&#8221;
