Tilting At Saddam
I had a post recently ( Murderous Quixotes http://fatherdaughtertalk.blogspot.com/2015/01/murderous-quixotes.html ) where I used he above illustration. The post was about how our war on terrorists, specifically Al Qa'ida, we have managed to spend trillions attacking non-Al-Qa'ida peoples, while only spending billions on attacking Al Qa'ida peoples.
The idea was that we were modern day Quixotes, and we thought that we saw Al Qa'ida in the windmills, so we attacked... but they were not Al Qa'ida after all and they had no weapons of mass destruction... and so on.
I never noticed how much the windmill resembled Saddam Hussein.
