#1 Send more ammo. Don't pick sides just send lost of ammo to both sides and let them fight it out until both sides no longer exist. Then and only then will there be peace.

#2 Expect any day now George Clooney and the collective Left to demand deployment of US troops under the command of Blue Helmets.

#3 Unfortunately, you are right, 49 Pan. Some people (entirely too many Yugoslavians, for instance, and pretty much all the Palestinians who haven't left yet) have to be left alone to kill and be killed until they've totally exhausted themselves, and the only ones left still living are ready to give up and make peace.

#4 "have to be left alone to kill and be killed until they've totally exhausted themselves, and the only ones left still living are ready to give up and make peace."

I can see your point TW but that allows the victor to acumulate strength and become more of a problem and say that their ideology is superior over all others.

Isolationism is no longer a valid response when a splodeydope can get on a plane in a capital in the mid east and be in washington by lunchtime.

Aggressive preempt, only way.

#5 I know, pihkalbadger. It's just that I'm in a mood right now, and Mr. Wife is on the wrong continent for another week, darn him! So I'm a little short of patience -- I do apologize.

#6 Saw evidence of that in another thread, tw.

I've always wondered what it would be like to simultaneously pass a kidney stone and bear a litter of kittens while typing. Thanks for the demonstration.

#7 Always glad to be of service, Angavick Phineling5389 . "simultaneously pass a kidney stone and bear a litter of kittens" The kidney stone is the easy part, in case you'd wondered; kittens are furry! ;-)
