aggression sometimes forces action.

The main thing I have learned here the last few years is to separate out the short term pessimistic position we need to assume from the long term optimistic position that should guide our overall thinking.

Sure, we need to be ready in case China or Iran or NK go "wog" on us and start something. But we shouldn't run our long term FP around those assumptions. Or let the people in charge of our short term kinetic needs guide our long term policies.
