War or Peace?

This is a very interesting article about the use of war as a tool to achieve what is perceived unachievable via peaceful political approach.

A very nice historical analysis of the result achieved via the military option. Too bad the likes of the Idiot in Chief lack the intellectual capacity to understand.

The Military Option

ALBERT EINSTEIN considered it a symptom of madness to repeat again and again doing something that has already failed and to expect a different result every time.

Most politicians and generals conform to this formula. Again and again they try to achieve their aims by military means and obtain contrary results. We Israelis occupy an honorable place among these madmen.

War is hell, as an American general pronounced. It also rarely achieves its aims.
