States That Know No Peace

When will Hitchens begin the drumbeat for the United Kingdom to invade and occupy the United Kingdom? I'll admit the remark is in poor taste, but so is all the horrible cliche'd sabre-rattling and phony Churchillian stuff. It performs no function in fighting the war we're in. Now that we know at least one of the bombers was home-grown in the state which was attacked, can we please start having a discussion about how we win the battle of ideas instead of how we lose the battle of force through endless attrition?
