Thomas Sowell's prodigious intellect has long been at odds with intellectuals.
Daniel J. Mahoney's thoughtful review of Sowell's latest offering, Intellectuals and Society, in the Spring 2010 issue of City Journal. A snippet:
Sowell vigorously defends wisdompractical reasonagainst an abstract rationalism that values ideas over the experience of actual human beings. Intellectuals, he argues, are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country. They look down upon objective reality and objective criteria' in the social sciences, art, music, and philosophy. Their systems' tend to be self-referential and lack accountability in the external world.

#2 Joe, why would they fight armageddon? They have no "paradise wenches" motivation. Wimminz here and now. So, they would likely make expeditions to the less protected neighbors to fetch the wench. Whatever pretext necessary. Likely the Indochina would be a target, sweeping down through Laos, west to Thailand and Myanmar. Maybe Vietnam, but Vietnamese are tough SOBs--when China tried a couple of decades ago, they got beaten rather unceremoniously.
