That is a very interesting and thoughtful reply. Thanks. Sorry for pulling your chain a bit.

I suppose the USA does seem like an elephant in the crib. We go from sea to shining sea, as the song goes.

I'm sure you are aware that the USA has a very significant pacifist contingent. There is even nasty speculation (untrue, I believe) that Roosevelt felt it was necessary to let the fleet be destroyed at Pearl Harbor in order to provoke our entry into the war. Which, as you probably know, was the point at which we joined your father against Hitler as well.

But look what happens when somebody goes proactive like [the] President Bush[es] did! Piss and moan, whine and belly ache! Sound familiar?

Whatever should we do? I mean, when you're an elephant, you're probably going to squash some mice even if you stand on one foot. Should we try levitation?
