I've started describing the wahabist we're
fighting like Doberman puppies. When you raise a
doberman, you don't play tug of war beyond a
certain point because if you do, you've lost a
dominance game. The puppy may be small and you
can still roll him back over and show him he's
not boss, but at one point in the future that
might not work any more. You certainly don't play
such games with a full grown dog because if you
loose, you're going to have a hard time showing
him he's not the alpha.

It doesn't map one to one, but, it's still a good comparison I think.

Hey, lets get this back on topic. Anyone have any
good photo's of Gulf War II vehicles? Did anyone
else see the photo of the striker that took a
500lb bomb explosion danger close (rolled it
over) and drove away under it's own power. The
suspension was pretty much gone, but she was able
to roll under her own power.
