"Limitations on our power, or on our will?" Sometimes both and sometimes the people are wrong. Do you plan on imposing your will on others? Tbats not exactly what the democracy you are touting is all about is it? "And maybe I see it as a zero-sum game because history has shown us that when we fail to nip the evil weed in the bud, it eventually blossoms and we're forced to spend even greater treasure and blood eradicating all of its offspring after we're permitted it to go to seed and replicate itself." You may be right, but not always. You are not God, nor was LBJ, Nixon or Bush. Hawk, you can not singlehandedly make the world safe for democracy. You need to look at the world more like the asians and view progress over time, but not over your lifetime. The two of us will both die one day and there still will be much work to do. Take a day off Man. I will meet you for a beer and talk NCAA and not politics. How many of your Final Four picks are still in the tourney.
