Looking at MSNBC this morning, they've got the "war timer" up now. Seems that it's become mandatory to put up a countdown timer on the overlay any time anyone gives any kind of deadline. Is it really necessary to track exactly how many minutes remain? Is the first missile really going to launch when the timer reaches zero? No. If Saddam steps down at hour 48, minute 2, will we still attack? In international diplomacy, should there really be "buzzer beaters" to avoiding war?
