I see. Never mind. BTW, I remember those Vietnam War numbers every night on the newscast - a zillion Viet Cong reported killed for every American.

This was a particular response to Laz and similar views by Tim that you "have to break a few eggs to make an omelet". It wasn't my metaphor.

It wasn't mine either. I've never heard any of my ideas discribed that way. I don't like the expression much because its connection with Stalin. I think war in self defense where some innocent people get killed is different then targeting innocent people for purges and death.

If we are embarking on World War III, I'd like to know.

What gives you even the slightest reason to suspect that we are doing such a thing?
