there's another avenue we should be pursuing. sure,
it includes some force for defense and self
preservation, but it also must include a basic premise
of human brotherhood and the desire for all people
(including those we see as enemies) to share equal
economic, physical, and spiritual opportunity
to grow and express the life-force within them.

I agree.

With great power comes great responsibility.

That's a lesson that wise societies have known since the days of Greece and Rome, if not before.

The founders of our country believed that the study of Greek and Roman history was essential to a freedom loving people. When I was in school, Latin was a required subject. Today, very few schools still offer it.

To our significant loss as a nation, IMO. Because the Greek and Roman concept that power and responsibility wer conjoined could help us tremendously today.
