You don't win wars playing defense alone. Someone recently reminded me that the Romans would say, Oderint dum metuant . That means, "Let them hate us, so long as they fear us." On the whole, Americans don't wish to be hated or feared. That makes it very difficult for any president to implement an effective long-range solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
