Saletan: Foreign Policy Wank



If you were to apply the technocratic logic of the war on drugs to Israel's difficulty in eradicating the tunnels in Gaza, you'd be waging well to assume that the result would sound like the slow jabbering of someone who'd taken a bad spill down a flight of stairs. Until you read Will Saletan's thoughts on the question, and then you'd realize that the results are even worse than the usual models could have predicted.

If you're in the mood for spoilers, Saletan concludes that Israel should simply resign itself to bombing the Gazan-Egyptian border between two and four times a year. Really. I can't imagine how that could go wrong.
