Deadly peace.

by Philocrites

"Morally, politically, financially, containing Iraq is one of the costliest failures in the history of American foreign policy. Containment can be tweaked — made a little less murderous, a little less dangerous, a little less futile — but the basic equations don't change. Containing Hussein delivers civilians into the hands of a murderous psychopath, destabilizes the whole Middle East and foments anti-American terror — with no end in sight."

("Deadlier than war." Walter Russell Mead, Washington Post 3.12.03; thanks, Dan!)
