The virtue of the vicious: As the US debates an open-ended declaration of war (which may turn out to be a Tonkin Gulf-style blank cheque), restraint has left the building:

"I say, bomb the hell out of them," Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga., said Wednesday. "If there's collateral damage, so be it. They certainly found our civilians to be expendable."

I see... "You kill our innocent people, and we'll kill your innocent people, see if we don't". *sigh* The world is going to hell.

(And it's frightening how at times like this, otherwise rational, mild-mannered people become fanatical patriots, to the point of threatening or using violence against those who disagree with the wisdom of going to war.)
