I entirely agree, and suggest a solution. There's another piece of unfinished business out there, dating from the Reagan era, which was labelled a National Security threat. The 1983 invasion of Grenada never did reduce the threat to the United States. Let's finish one invasion at a time...and this one would be a lot less expensive. Of course, if one wants to be the class bully, one could be really brave, and take on North Korea again. Better luck the second time around? Afghaniststan needs to be pacified, too. Like those other success stories... Vietnam, Cuba, Columbia, Panama, El Salvador, Somalia. Hey wait a minute...who's the threat here? John W.

A trivial problem that leads to a trivial example of learning from experience. The foolish headlong rush into war by certain powerful leaders is a not-so-trivial example of a lesson that may not be learned until it is too late.
