So weird it must be real life.
Via that wonderful site, Arts & Letters Daily, I get a story from the Spectator about the arguments for and against war with iraq. This is totally off topic, but I was struck with the Rumsfeld interview on NPR where he replies to questions about pre-emptive strike on Iraq by hypothesising about a strike on the Man in the Moon. omigod. To quote
‘And of course,’ says Washington’s military hard man, ‘the advantage of not acting against the Moon would be that no one could say that you acted. They would say, “Isn’t that good? You didn’t do anything against the Moon.” The other side of the coin of not acting against the Moon in the event that the Moon posed a serious threat would be that you then suffered a serious loss and you’re sorry after that’s over.’lord save us.
