| #8 Re Procopius: I believe Heraclitus remarked that "Strife is the farther of all things." A state of peace is indeed abnormal. |

| #6 The best way to prevent wars is: Do not steal. D not lie. Do not covet what others have. Honor your mother and your father. Take a day off to rest each week. Do not flirt with another mans wife. Do not make false accusations against another in order to bring harm to a good person. Understand there is one God. Do not take His name in a deceitful way. Problem is, the above virtues are banned by mankind. Therefore mankind will always have hell to pay. |

| #4 The West won the Cold War, but that is history. The West also lost the 9/11 war, a war the West couldn't afford not to win. The dangerous events that are beginning to unfold are consequences of this loss. The EU Compared to the post-soviet gangster feudalism that is afflicting parts of eastern Europe and Russia the EU In any case there are interesting times ahead. |

| #3 The question is who won WWI? WW2 was just a rematch. Russians went down in WW1 but came back in time for the Cold war. Ottomans were dismembered in WW1 and came back in time for Al Queda and the current fun. War to end all wars my ass. Couldn't have bungled that worse. |

| #2 The false perspective of history is that peace is the natural state of man rather than the pause between conflict and friction among people. Granted geographical barriers or unnatural periods of grace because 'no one in their right mind' would antagonize someone or something that could smite them out of existence, some generations forget that given 4000 years of human history, the civilized world has only seen something like 300 years of peace. Either you play the game to influence events or events play you. In the unicorn world of the progressives, it's never the 19th Century (and prior). You lose what you've gained when you have a warped view of history, the record of human behavior. Like AGW, when empirical evidence doesn't match the theory, throw out the evidence. |
