The Problem with the Arguments of Giuliani, McCain
William Saletan writes in in his GOP convention blog for Slate:
The offense/defense metaphor treats the use of force as a football game, in which the enemy is clear, and every attack we launch is an advance. This eliminates the salient complication of reality: Al-Qaida and Saddam were distinct adversaries, and attacking the latter wasn't necessarily an advance against the former.
