A country can achieve a lot without firing a shot if they are smart (and ready to shoot when necessary).

Precisely. I think Teddy Roosevelt put that as "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

good quote, Manny. Doesn't the quote mean that we should try to resolve things in peaceful ways and only use the Military as a last resort?

My sense is that the military is becoming our primary mode of interacting with those countries with which we have a problem. The implications of this are scary.
