He Who Hesitates is Lost

Mr. Kenneth Adelman, a director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency under Reagan, says it as well at it can be said (courtesy of the June 21, 2002, Weekly Standard Newsletter):

"Criticism is being heaped now for government inaction against terrorism before Sept. 11 -- when few of us could ever conceive of a major attack on America. Just imagine what will be hurled against George W. Bush when all of us could -- and did -- imagine such an attack marked by Iraqi weapons of mass destruction given to some terrorist group like al-Qa'ida. And yet his administration did not act. Why risk this? Why risk us?" --Kenneth Adelman

Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war (Wm. Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act. III, Sc. I)
