Rumsfeld on Meet the Press just said living in a free democratic society means accepting that in exchange for freedom we give up certain things, eg., the right to settle scores with violence(?)
Unless of course it is an overwhelmingly, militarily superior super power administrating the violence.
He also glossed over the looting of antiquities, calling them "things." When Russert phrased his question "how did we allow that (the looting of antiquities) to happen" Rumsfeld became nonplussed and acted as if it were not within our control to stop anything because in case you forgot, we are fighting a war.
I think one tank parked in front of the museum might have sufficed
