Reply #5: How did you get to be such a cold warrior?

When will you learn? As the "crisis papers" reminds us, we are NOT the rugged individualists we self-satisfyingly claim. Most importantly, a Government cannot do much of anything well by analogy to and behavior as a "rugged individual."

Don't youg get it? Just because we WANT to make it a simple school yard / geo-political / who has more "power" kind of argument, that does not make it useful to have such an argument. Just because you believe China, or some other boogey-man, is "playing the same game" does not mean you must box yourself in to those ways of thinking.

Dr. Strangelove would be proud of you. I say shame on you.
