CommentsThank you Dr. Owens. We need to say it over and over...and again and again: Republic, not empire!Posted by Kevin on 10/29 at 03:27 AM | # Dr. Owens, You make some excellent points in your commentary. The one thing you failed to mention though, was just what an appropriate approach would be. One might postulate that instead of invading and operating by rules of engagement which are much more suited to the NCAA we might have been more aggressive and destructive, fighting a "real war." Another possibility might be to stand back and simply utterly destroy any place which harbored terrorists (lots of collateral damage that way but far fewer American lives at risk and much less costly). Of course, each has a set of overlapping drawbacks but being mired in a decade-long occupation is not one of them. I am not playing "gotcha" here and would appreciate your opinion.

The siren song of empire has seduced republics down through history to trade in their freedom for power Historians spend their life looking backwards. Futurists spend their life looking forward. My goal has been to blend the two disciplines into one seamless endeavor More...Post a Comment on: Imperial Republics FallCommenting is not available in this channel entry.
