Yeah, I said something about forgiving your enemies--after you have disarmed them.
It's not smart to go into fire zone chanting mantras in the hopes it will save your butt, methinks.
But invasions, as can be seen from the above paper, tend to produce a lot of resentment. I think of invasion as something of an extreme solution. The Bush Doctrine is a major change in our public policy, and it is highly dangerous because it opens the door to invading on opinions, rather than concrete facts. As indeed, was demonstrated in Iraq. IMHO, opening the door to governmental powers to wage war based on opinions only is highly risky and could cost the whole shooting match.
