TSM as a virus that is swarming - omnipresent nature
Kaplan and Bristol 2003
Have long passed threshold where prospect of frag Iraq is ^ evil than persistence of Hussein - that things might be worse without him is of course a possibilty. but given the status quo in Iraq, it is difficult to imagine now
