Study of history is he best guide to dealing with new
situations, Bob, a wisdom that has been sorely absent

collective ignorance of Sun Tzu and Clausewitz.
The Bomb...could be lurking anywhere, perhaps in a

Then it would suicidal of us to vote for an administration
and its policies that have secured the ports, that have not
captured bin Laden, that would rather be politically correct
than pragmatically effective. Again, I recommend Fred
Kaplan's new book on the subject: "Daydream Believers."

Ha! The Lee Hoiby work ("Last Letter Home") is the hard-core,
serious work, dealing as it does with the tragedy of the Iraq
conflict, Start with "Casey at the Bat" -- delightful stuff, or
Bill Joel's "Lullabye."
