David...
"Such is human history" for sure,...and that's EXACTLY THE MAIN PROBLEM.
In fact, if long ago both: "Great Britain" and "The Spanish Armada" both had the sea and land based nuclear missiles of today, it's very unlikely that you and I (probably a couple of billion others also)...would even be around to have this little debate, TODAY.
I guess that in that context, we and most all other Americans should consider ourselves pretty-damn-lucky, since Today's American Leaders (of whatever bent) mostly treat international affairs or disputes as if just some naively-politically-correct project,...and/or that our many enemies when push comes to shove,...JUST WOULDN'T DARE?
Whatever,...Hope Our Luck doesn't-run-out and/or that our many enemies JUST WOULDN'T DARE under any circumstances?
Plus, and on this matter, I also honestly hope that EVERYONE ELSE is right about things, and I'm totally wrong with and over my concerns.
Neil
