Hi Neocon; Re: "You confuse ability with will. Just because we are not brutal enough to use the means at our disposal as overwhelming force does not mean that the capability is absent"

I agree that the capability is there, but it is only there as a theoretical ability. Practical restraints prevent us from using it. You confuse theory with practice.

The Iraq war was going to be easy, in theory. It's in practice where nice theories turn into crap.
