We weren't going to go to war for them in the Fifties, despite some interesting history involving the CIA. Who seriously thinks we will?<br /><br />I have a hard time imagining<br />modern-day Hollywood as being anything like the one that contributed to the war effort during World War Two. All this sad, brutal parade has done is prompt more cheap talk from a man who owes his dazzling high office to cheap talk. There will be more, this country has rewarded him for it during his entire life.<br /><br />Mike JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-57340962346814488552014-02-28T17:23:09.142-05:002014-02-28T17:23:09.142-05:00I don't think it really matters whether we hav...I don't think it really matters whether we have the <i>wit</i> to "stay out of it", since I do not believe that the current mis-administration has the slightest bit of <i>wit</i> to handle such a situation competently.<br /><br />Or the nerve.Dranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082177597135236652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-80637291889232614312014-02-28T16:45:32.825-05:002014-02-28T16:45:32.825-05:00There's a quote that Jerry Pournelle is fond o...There's a quote that Jerry Pournelle is fond of trotting out, that is often attributed to John Quincy Adams: "We are the friends of liberty everywhere, but the guardians only of our own."Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-1581875266753182472014-02-28T14:56:41.122-05:002014-02-28T14:56:41.122-05:00Well no one cared about the last European war.
