London defense specialist takes on over-reaction and our current approach to the WoT. Key bit:

The world may be chaotic. But we are part of that chaos. Except in atypical circumstances, the military is not a surgical tool of political engineering, but a bludgeon wielded by specialists in violence. We therefore don't have the power to alter the political condition of others at our own timetable.
If we want to contain own worst enemy, it is time to look in the mirror.
