Must the enemy fit the crime?

Posted September 14, 2001 12:08 PM.

Don't inflate the size of the enemy to fit the crime: "Searching for parallels to help them understand what has happened and what they should do next, Americans cite Pearl Harbour. A better reference would be the Cuban missile crisis. Then, as now, the United States had a new and untried president, John F Kennedy, and faced a danger that the wrong moves could turn a bad situation into a worse one.".
