Victor Davis Hanson is famously stupid (as has been pointed out again and again by the folks at Lawyers, Guns and Money), so maybe he really did mean "paper tiger". That would fit with his general habit of making assertions about foreign policy that fall somewhere between "wacky' and "I love the smell of napalm in the morning". But then again, maybe he was talking about paper ligers after all, and has a deep knowledge of their species. After all, is there anything other than a deep knowledge of magic that could explain why he's thought of as a perceptive thinker about matters of 21st century war and foreign policy?
