It is long past time to end this long known tragic sequence. War as a "solution" to problems is obsolete. It is in the face of this fact that President Bush has to decide whether to "gamble" the United States.

I see no signs that Bush invaded Iraq for the reasons you suggest.

We are besieged by real enemies--the same issue of The Atlantic contains a fictitious war game scenario for dealing with North Korea, a country which presents a real danger. I highly recommend reading it as well.

Our choices with respect to rogue states armed with nuclear weapons, principally Iran and NK, are stark. They don't have anything to do with Bush pulling out a Colt 44 at the poker table to avoid the IOUs. Not in ways I can discern, anyway.

And your view of history is accurate. Countries do evolve over time after destruction, as we have. But that unfortunately is an obvious point. It doesn't do much to help me think about the future of me and mine. Or how I should prepare for what seems to be a stark economic future.

This article, however, makes some good points in this regard. All that has to be done is be like the Boy Scouts--prepared.
