Only extremists would blame one side of the aisle. To ignore the problem. We know from Nixon's tapes that Kissinger and Nixon discussed what they knew was already an American defeat. But Nixon's #1 concern: not surrender on his watch. So he massacred the most American soldiers in that useless and unnecessary war.

In that draft, the Officer said they would do everything possible to keep us all out of the Army. 150 went in. Only 13 were physically fit for the Army. That President was more concerned for his legacy than the nation, a solution, or American soldiers. Even Army officers knew better.

Why was Alexander so Great? He also did what informed and intelligent leaders do. He negotiated so that his soldiers would not be wasted in battle. He also did not foolishly do the equivalent of "seizing oil to pay debts". Only dumb stupid leaders do that.

Romney would have to use "force to save American lifes". Because his people have a long history of getting Americans in trouble. Unilaterally attacking others even for no reason. Talking belligerently. And putting more Americans at risk. Informed leaders and military know the best way to save lives is to not make military force necessary. History demonstrates only the informed avert a need for military force. So many examples posted previously.

Why did Colin Powell avert a military conflict with China? Again, the informed solve problems without military force. By silencing wackos in George Jr's administration. And by negotiating to solve an otherwise simple problem. Those wackos that so wanted a China war are the baggage that Romney would bring to the White House.

Wackos routinely see conflict as a solution. Especially when it created a bogeyman.

Mythical weapons of mass destruction: some gas (which is routinely found even in semiconductor fabs) is not a WMD. But wackos harm American soldiers by solving all problems with a military adventure. By even inventing mythical threats.

Smart leaders would have heard what every nation, adjacent to Iraq, said. He was a threat to no one. 'Big dic' thinking would routinely massacre American soldiers for greater glory. To even steal oil and treasure to pay for it. America does not need leaders who find solutions in military crusades. America is still suffering (ie this recession) from that stupidity.

'Big dic' thinking is the last thing we want in the White House. History says why.
