Writing off the U.S. is a risky proposition, as history shows.

I post it here because it reminds us that there are still lessons to be learned by studying 12-7-41. And by that I mean lessons both we and our international opponents should study and remember.)

I see. So what occurred 70 years ago should determine our foreign policy today? I'm sorry Will, but see my sig - the future always arrives too soon and in the wrong order. Yes, we have to understand the past but assuming the past is prologue to the future is nonsense.

The only explanation of human behavior is chaos theory. If you don't understand why I write that, you have no understanding of social science - not that you ever have. But I would like you to eventually figure it out instead of relying upon historical canards that have no meaning in today's foreign policy concerns.
