Reply #3: Brahimi is right

We are fighting a fire with gasoline and ensuing military action will on lead to devastation, loss of life and drive more Iraqis into the ranks of insurgents. Unfortunately I don't think these warnings are going to be heeded when Cheney making remarks like:

"Such an enemy cannot be deterred, cannot be contained, cannot be appeased, or negotiated with," he said. "It can only be destroyed. And that is the business at hand."

Just like the Israel was able to do with the Palestinians, the British with the Irish, Russians with Chechnya or French with Algeria? Just like we would decapitate the regime with shock and awe and have cheering Iraqis in the streets? That fat, ugly, lying, crash cart, evil chicken hawk slime ball makes me sick.
