re: the best way to change minds is with $ and reasoning: Jefferson said the same thing, during the Napoleanic wars, when the navies of both France and England were kidnapping our sailors and seizing our merchant ships: "I do not believe war the most certain means of enforcing principles. Those peaceable coercions which are in the power of every nation, if undertaken in concert and in time of peace, are more likely to produce the desired effect." --Thomas Jefferson to Robert Livingston, 1801. "War is not the best engine for us to resort to; nature has given us one in our commerce, which, if properly managed will be a better instrument for obliging the interested nations of Europe to treat us with justice... Our object should now be to... endeavor so to form our commercial regulations as that justice from other nations shall be their mechanical result." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 1797
