Which is the apt analogy?

Norm Geras says that the house was on fire in Iraq.

The way I see, there were "people on thin ice in the middle of a take."

The question was (or at least should have been) not whether it was moral to try to save them -- it was -- but whether in attempting to save them the saviors put everyone at even greater risk by the manner of their venture. We had other choices in March 03. We -- actually, the poseur in the White House -- chose not to take them.

Exactly. And that's why I'll be voting for that "poseur" this week.
