Re: reasonable minds won't view us as provocative at all.


I dare you to walk into Fallujah next Easter and try to tell them that. You'd last about 20 seconds, little man.

America did NOT attempt to take Russia down, for instance

Like that was due to some humane feeling of self-restraint, a warm and benevolent gesture from the powerful giant with a good heart :-)

America did not "attempt to take Russia down", only because they full well about the hundreds of nukes that would head in the specific direction of all US cities of any significance if any such "attempt" were to be unwisely initiated.

It was a stand-off. Hence the references to the "bi-polar world" of that era.

>> What you fail to recognize is that we have grand ability in war, and choose not to use it, over and over again.

This is a myth. Give me an example of where America has refused to use its military might out of the goodness of its heart. We always use as much force as we deem necessary and no more, just like everyone else.

What you seem to be saying is that because we sent 5:1 well equipped soldiers under heavy air cover into Fallujah against a bunch of rebels with only basic weapons, we have withheld our might. Do you really believe it would have been in the US interests to nuke the city?
