Re: I believe when it becomes clear that the costs far exceed any tangible benefit (which they do already but the masses still can't see it), it will no longer be feasible to continue with it. [...] Surely, sometime, reason has to prevail?

Of course, at some point "reason" will prevail... After all, even in fascistic Europe and Nazi Germany, "reason" overcame eventually --after the WWII bloodshed.

Keep in mind that human affairs are not "reasonable" and History is not quantum physics --mankind is essentially an irrational system, otherwise the world wouldn't be afflicted by so much misery and plight....
