The new terrorists’ demands are for their countries to stop doing business with Iraq. It’s economic, not military, now. Some claim this is a sign of our progress in Iraq.

Then again, two weeks ago I would have said that anyone who thought kidnapping hostages would make a coalition member “go wobbly” was nuts.
