Re: [But a smart man gets his enemies to fight each other.] "When and where has that happened in the history of earth??" Have you NEVER read anything by Sun Tsu (The Art of War), or by Clausewitz, or by Machiavelli, or Napoleon, or any number of Roman, Greek, Chinese classical military historians?????? (Or war-fighting doctrine and writings from British or American military institutes?) >>> It would be VERY HARD to examine any large, multi-party historical war where such has NOT happened over and over! The examples are so numerous they could go on and on and on for pages. >>> The history of warfare is literally OVER-RUN with examples of this most-excellent tactic being employed. >>> Chrimminy, Man... was STALIN and his Communists 'pals' of American Capitalism and Democracy? Or was our support of him in his war with Hitler an EXPEDIENT? A 'means to an ends"? >>> Was the Iran/Iraq eight year long war a war between TWO friends of the US --- or a spider pitted against a scorpion?
