re: #6 Romantic Heretic

Isn’t the Army kind of busy in Iraq and Afghanistan? So what are you going to use, John?

People get so upset with empire analogies, so I’ve gone to the cat-lady analogy. One cat (or invaded nation) you can care for. Two cats (or invaded nations) you can care for. But eventually you have too damn many cats, and they burrow into the insulation of your house and raise litters of kittens, and eventually you’re found dead and half-eaten on the floor of your kitchen.
