Don't know about that..

Ha, but they're not endangered are they? I realize my post was not exactly material one would choose to cite at a motivational conference. Just saying that despite the rhetoric and false pronouncements of newly achieved peace accords, world affairs are in a consistent slide toward major conflict, not away from it.

The idea that man has somehow outgrown or, evolved past his bent to destroy himself by waging war on a grand scale, is not the sort of stuff on which to base foreign policy. But, that is where we find ourselves. I've heard that conclusion being used as the justification for downsizing the US military from the President, the Vice President and Sec of Defense Chuck Hagel. Like I said recently, IMHO liberals suffer from a form of schizophrenia in which the practice of self deception has been advanced to an art form. We live in a world which seems to be ready to explode, and yet we're being told the US has a handle on it and, our border with Mexico has never been more secure. Movie line; (paraphrased) "don't whiz down my collar and tell me it's raining" And, please don't try to tell me it's an act of love, LOL.
