Yes, of course they want to bring us down, but playing to our military and economic strengths is hardly a clever way to achieve their goals.

"Throw me into that briar patch."

I don't want to toss you anywhere. I don't want to nit-pick or expend energy flailing my own side. We simply disagree over what boils down to a peripheral question of optimism and analysis. You're a conservative on the cardinal points and so am I, so I wish you the best, Southhack, wherever it takes you.
