["Gilles d'Aymery" <aymery@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why read Clausewitz when Shock and Awe can make a clean sweep of things?

"For the war´s architects, `Iraq was not a danger to avoid but a
strategic opportunity,´ less a destination than a point of departure. In
their eyes, 2003 was not 1945, but 1939: not a climax but the opening
gambit of a vast enterprise largely hidden from public view. Allusions to
Saddam as a new Hitler notwithstanding, they did not see Baghdad as
Berlin but as Warsaw - a preliminary objective."
