Do you smell another war for sale?

It has come to my attention that, as a world, some of our politicians are once again displaying their aggressively incompetent handle of foreign affairs. I have no doubt that most of you are familiar with the complex issue in question. Suffice to say that the American Right is nostalgic for the eighties in a way that is no longer cute, and what passes for the Left is not helping much either (I'm guessing Election Day is the motivator--an alienating strategy). There are subtexts of subtexts, of course, within this whole issue.
What are your thoughts?

Crush your enemies!
Crush your enemies!
And see them trembling before you!
And hear...the lamentation....of the women! :silly:

Classic! Conan quoting Ghengis Khan!

"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."
Major General Smedley Butler, 1935

So the snake sheds her skin, slithers on. The storms buffet (like Jimmy) the trodden surface. Dem icecubes melt, freeze again. Phoenix ain't just in Arizona. I saw the greatest muons of my gluons show me some day I'd know a lepton. So much easier to center when Red-2 cuts the chatter.
