Alas, everyone wants to pull the Great Satan's chain these days...
But what seems to be coming to the foreground is the total impotence of military force to effect change in the modern world.
The dirty little secret is that military power is unable to effect change unless it is ACUTALLY used...
And for more and more of the non-superpower world...military force is seen as sort of passe... So, well, 20th Century!
Is Dubya really going to attack North Korea...?
Look what a few insurgents are doing in Iraq...to the most powerful military machine in the world?
DO BOMBS AND PLANES MEAN ANYTHING IF THEY ARE NOT USED TO DESTROY PROPERTY AND KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS...? I SAY NO!
DETERENCE IS A JOKE, AS LONG AS NO ONE ACTUALLY CROSSES AN INTERNATIONAL BOUNDRY WITH AN ARMY...
WHERE ARE THE MASSING ARMIES THAT DUBYA & CO ARE SUPPOSEDLY FIGHTING? THEY DON'T EXIST...
I'D SAY THE NEOCONS HAVE A BIT OF AN "EXISTENTIAL PROBLEM" WITH THEIR WAR STRATEGY! TO-WIT: NO REALLY WELL DEFINED "ENEMY" THAT CAN BE ATTACKED WITH CONVENTIONAL MILITARY WEAPONS.
NOT GOOD IF YOU'RE A FOUR STAR GENERAL ASSIGNED TO "WINNING A WAR!"
AND SO FAR THE ONLY LEADER TO ACTUALLY INVADE ANOTHER COUNTRY HAS BEEN DUBYA AND HIS NEOCON HANDLERS...!
AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVE BY THE "MOST POWERFUL MILITARY IN THE WORLD" HAVE BEEN RATHER..."MIXED."
