A.A. Yes, do something, do anything ... Well, we did something, we did
anything, and here we are. Do you like where that is, Eric? Assuming you

Got al Qaeda on the run. Peace and stability in Iraq. Recruitment for
jihadists is way down. No jihadistan from Pakistan to Iran, none, just
liberal democracies as far as the eye can see ...
