Not yet the kingdom of idiots

News reports are saying that the Bush administration is considering sending US troops to Lebanon.

So, let's see, in the war on terror, that would give us:

  1. Afghanistan
  2. Iraq
  3. The National Guard on our borders
  4. Lebanon

And, of course, saber-rattling at Iran.

"Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots would fight a war on twelve fronts." -- Londo Mollari, Ceremonies of Light and Dark (Babylon 5).

*whew* -- we're not up to twelve.

It frightens me that foreign policy discussions in our house center around science fiction TV.
