My message to Al Qaeda

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7299888.stm

'Security minister Lord West has said it would be "silly" to have no communication link whatsoever with terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda.' Is he crazy? Oh, wait...

'However, Lord West said that any communication should be done on a "very careful, secret level" but he rejected the idea of formal talks.'

Whew! For a second there I thought he might give away the tip-top secret that we are having careful, secret-level meetings with Al Qaeda. Of course that would be insane, because then they'd be scrutinized by every tom dick and harry and a powerful searchlight of public interest.

Is it just me, or was the world run vastly more competently 100 years ago? I have a 'communication' for Al Qaeda. We've been kicking your ass for the last seven years, and we're going to kick your ass for the next seven, and the seven after that etc. until you're all dead. That is all.
