And supposing we just let Saddam carry on, would it really have been such a problem? My anxiety is that, yes, we cannot take that risk. That after September 11th, the calculus 7 of risk have to change and change fundamentally.


Now you see it, now you don't. These fishing boats are straining across no man's lands, where a flooded Grey River met a violent Tasman Sea.  The boats are sucked and pulled by churning  brown currents, turned by waves and hammered by an unrelenting swell 8. The sandbar at the mouth of Grey River is treacherous 9 considered the most dangerous in Australasia. And after a day of heavy rain, these two Riverton-based fishing boats were fighting an eight-knot current.  The men onboard were not wearing lifejackets, and locals say they were crazy to even attempt crossing it.
