this one strikes me as the classic might makes right position.

It does in the eyes of the people who win. And History is written by the winners, isn't it? I originally came up with the concept because I was thinking about the confusion I hear from posters who believe that we should do nothing, not because we shouldn't, but because we can't be sure we are doing the "Right" thing.

And what I wanted to get at is that we can never be sure we are doing the "Right" thing, in anything. Either personally, or as a Nation. All we can do is take the facts we have, and make the best decision we can. And then carry it out! To the end! Without dithering!
