| [DAWN] THERE were many who believed the army would never confront the turbans in North Wazoo. Too many strategic assets were located there, they said. And the cost of appeasing the West by dismantling the myrmidons’ infrastructure would be too high. But the predictions were wrong. Eventually -- after years of hesitation -- the army did move in.
