The West, which fought a war to rescue Kuwait from Saddam Hussein and Kosovo Muslims from Slobodan Milosevic, has made surprisingly little a threat to its own populations. Some are asking precisely what order of atrocity will it take for these great powers to put aside their differences and act together against the Taliban and the threat it nurtures. It's hard to say. What is truly an atrocity is the brazen bloodthirstiness of the War Party, which can hardly restrain itself these days. So eager are they to unleash the dogs of war, from Kosovo to Iraq and now Afghanistan, that they hardly care whether their arguments make a modicum of sense.
