thats my whole point, dear david.

who gets to pick which thing is the 'right thing'?

you? me? jack? W? palestine? israel? US citizens? foreign interests? global opinion? military leaders? humanitarian leaders? republicans? democrats? superman? batman? a ouija board? a magic 8 ball?

regardless of any merit and benefit found in each of the 4 basic options (outlined above), whichever we select will be the wrong decision, so says the court of public opinion.

its a lose-lose-lose-lose situation.
