Ian Morris op-ed in WaPo. An interesting read for a Saturday. Hat tip to the Puppy Blender...
A view into the twisted, depraved thoughts of the Ivy League tenured. Yes, the ones whom seldom serve, or experience 'real life' outside the walls of their lofty, hallowed sanctuaries.
Nevertheless, the point is that nation states with logical rules that restrain behavior in the end are less awful than tribalism. The observation of Adam Smith, that order allows trade therefore allows enrichment without plunder, is perhaps the most astute observation since the Bible.

War is an observable fact. Peace is a theoretical construct of philosophers.

In ten years or so, perhaps less, the media will be insisting Syria's Assad actually possessed no such weapons. We will learn that 'Red Line' was the result of failed intelligence, and ignoring the 'Red Line' the strategy of a genius.

I've said it before. Assad is just trying to get his swimming pool ready for summer, and sometimes he has to chlorinate until people's eyes water, sometimes as much as 200 miles downwind.

You would think: Chlorine = chlorine bleach = whiter whites = obooboo upset. No rhyme, no reason...

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
