In a real war the greatest weapon is your brain. A good brain combined with the ability to think under fire and the will to make the move that offers the best odds, even when you think you'll get killed doing it, are the essential tools of those who have a decent chance to survive. Actually that is exactly how the accused terrorists in Canada were training. But although I have seen one I have never played with a paintball gun. I have used shotguns, I learned at 13 on .22's and .303's and I have also used an 8mm. I am proficient with a bow, learned that at 12. I understand and am competent as an organic grower, and have a large selection of seeds stored for next season. I have changed in the last 3 or 4 years to heritage seed, and expect to learn about breeding dogs next year. My present dog took first in her puppy training and second to her brother in the novice class, That I think that The Americans should not have gone into Iraq, because they lack the will to win, is little different that the idea that they shouldn't have gone in because it was all about oil. Frankly the US facing a winter without heating oil might teach a huge number of Americans why the Americans have to fight to secure sufficient oil. Until/Unless the US finds a substitute for oil, the US has no choice. North America cannot continue to function the way it is, and yet even those who scream about this being about oil can't figure out that they need to figure out what to do instead of buy oil. It is rather strange to watch.
