I think that is the Sun Tzu fallacy

Pretty bold of you to refer to anything Sun Tzu had to offer as a "fallacy".. I certainly wouldn't go that far.. ;0)

But I think that Tzu would feel more comfortable with the term "allies of convenience", which is how we perceived the USSR in WWII. We hated Communism, but hated the Nazis and Japanese Imperialists even more.

But still wonder how history would have been different had we applied our leverage in 1945 and forced the Soviets back to their borders (or maybe just with Poland as the buffer state).

To waste all of those lives fighting one form of Totalitarianism, merely to condemn hundreds of millions more to die under another form.. sigh.
