It should be noted that the ability to respond has been somewhat diminished by the experience with Dubbya and the WMDs. (Not a bad group name, that...) In order not to appear as just another stupe who going to drag the country into another sensless intervention, whoever makes such a decision post-Dubbya is going to have to be very, very careful to dot the 'i's and cross the 't's. The requisite and bar for due diligence is much higher now...
