There was time to scramble the fighters. It didn't happen. It would have under Clinton. It costs me a lot to admit that because I truly disliked the man. In fact that is a bit of an understatement.
But the attack was also the natural consequence of policies I, along with the Catholic Church and the entire civilized world, regard as utterly evil. I refer to the coddling of the most egregious elements in Israeli politics, and the (then) continuing sanctions against Iraq.
If that makes me a terrorist I am in good company because then the Pope is one too.
