That was effectively what I was saying.

We could sit and argue the pros and cons of the Iraqi war for years (and probably will do), but the fact that a plane with a malfunctioned transponder caused an evacuation at a potential target is a "good thing"; insofar as having to evacuate at all is a good thing.


Security controls and procedures = good
Invasion of Afghanistan = good
Invasion of Iraq = bad
