I don't want anybody to get clobbered. Doesn't anybody believe in solving problems through cooperation, diplomacy, and good old-fashioned hegemonic coercion any more? Why do we have to talk about "clobbering"? Haven't we learned ANYTHING by looking at the mistakes of the past? Russia in Afghanistan - that was a big success. The Middle East, boy, violence has sure been the answer there. The 9/11 attacks, boy that sure showed those dumb Americans who's the boss. Yup, violence will fix everything.

Can we move on to a more useful topic?
