Its not worth a war over a province in a far away land. Not now, not ever. Its scary all right—looks like the 1930s all over again. But we are not ready for a war at this time and that place. Nothing good can come of war at this point in history. That’s my view.
i think we are going to need a daily thread for this little brush up - much like free republic had back during the Israel-Hezbollah war a couple years back
Tell me then, when will we be ready? I have played poker with people like you. Sitting at the table calling and waiting for the unbeatable hand and folding to anyone that makes a sizeable bet, only to learn when the hand is over that your two pair would have won. You continue to do so, waiting on the perfect hand anteing all your money untill the bully bluffer leaves you with nothing to bet.OTOH, once he finds out you are willing to call does he back down with his aggressivenes and becomes more civil. Oh, he will go to the next table and try the same tactics and if no one opposes him he will win. Right now we are sitting at that table, our chips are stacked high, do we fold or call his bluff?
