President Bush's decision to expand the number of troops in Iraq is more than an acknowledgement that the U.S. is losing the war. It's a statement that the U.S. will rely on conventional military forces in fighting the war against terrorism. Bush has framed the entire rationale for sending additional troops in the context of fighting a long-term war against terrorism. Well, of course we're going to fight a long-term war against terrorism. But does this mean that we're going to send endless numbers of particular troops to one particular country, without considering troops elsewhere -- and without considering other forms of military intervention aside from conventional warfare? How ironic -- and how mortally dangerous -- that while rogue, religiously fanatical and medieval regimes, such as Iran, acquire nuclear weapons, that the U.S. steps into a pre-World War II time machine, operating on the assumption that ground troops are the only defense we have against terrorism.
