We Must Deter

A broad strata of society takes flasks of explosive agents onto planes to be mixed midflight. A number of flights are targeted. Over the ocean, who would know what caused the destruction?

It is time to send a message to Iran, to deter further terrorism.

If Iran takes down a commercial flight, we take down their oil production. If that does not work, up the ante.

We must articulate a deterrence, and follow through.

I am off with the family for a few weeks on vacation in the States, so I am letting my regulars readers (both of you) know that posting will be light.

Let us hope that August 22 is no more than the rantings of a short man.
