We can go on and on with that sort of rational;
and it never ends, it's Hamlets old
"AND MAKES US RATHER BEAR THOSE ILL WE HAVE; THAN TO FLY TO OTHERS THAT WE KNOW NOT OF. THUS DOES MAKE COWARDS OF US ALL; AND THUS THE NATIVE HUE OF RESOLUTION IS
SICKLIED O'ER WITH THE PALE CAST OF THOUGHT, WITH THIS REGARD THEIR CURRENTS TURN AWRY, AND LOSE THE NAME OF ACTION.
Not exact, but close enough..We must take the chance of doing something
even if it brings greater ills because greater ills are for sure if we do
nothing.
Kill the SOB and worry about the next evil when it gets here.
Force is all taht type understand.
Jim

That is true in a general sense -- people get the government they want and deserve -- but I believe it is not true in an exceptional sense. That is, people at the extremes are hard to replace with equally qualified (or disqualified) skills. For example, Lincoln's shoes would have been (and were) difficult to fill. So too at the other extreme, Hitler. Hussein is extreme compared to our thinking, but is he "normal" in Iraq?
