They're still at it - yes we know that in the end they would get control. All I am trying to do is get a realistic idea of the strength of the two sides. It is hard to do.... By the way I wouldn't have been in favor of attacking Germany in the 1930s before they started attacking other countries which were then defended by their allies. Sanctioning them for sure - we don't have to trade with people we don't like. At the moment we still have a system of nation states but regulated by the UN etc. not a world government and not an anarchy. Invading other countries unilaterally that we don't like is the road to anarchy. The US can get away with it because it is overwhelmingly strong. But at what price. Yes I know there is a grey borderline here. For example, Israel's strike on the Iraqi nuclear reactor in the early 1980s is a case in point. The invasion of Lebanon in 1982 was definitely over the top and beyond that line. David
