3. K&R It's a Pyrric victory writ large.

4. Heresy!

Just you wait until the acolytes of the High Church of Redemptive Violence tune in on this thread. You're impugning the national religion of the United States of America, the greatest country ever on the face of the earth, chosen by the Almighty and exceptional in every way. Way better than those other pretenders to the title.

6. True. Swatting a mosquito won't end malaria, either.

A more exhaustive and comprehensive approach is needed.

...I will keep swatting mosquitos, however.

11. How many dollars and lives are you prepared to spend per mosquito? (nt)

[ThomCat]

12. A better analogy would be firebombing a populated swamp

and killing much of the life living within it in an effort to fight malaria. :(

Swatting individual mosquitoes would be more comparable to only sending in individual teams of special forces. If we had done that, we wouldn't have wasted trillions of dollars, all of these lives unnecessarily, and caused all of this wasteful collateral damage.
