Default Self-defense

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
It has been remarked by historians studying the great empires of the past that pre-eminent among the warning signs of their decay was supreme arrogance, i.e. self-defined notions of absolute invincibility and omnipotence permeating the empire.

Self defense is not a vice...
Self defense is not arrogance...

[/ QUOTE ]Hilarious.

You would have a better chance of preventing mirth if you admitted that almost all the military excursions abroad since WWII, engaged by the U.S., have been to project power and to promote geopolitical interests rather than self defense. "Stop them before we have to fight them in California" and all that crap just doesn't cut it anymore. Admit the truth, and we'll take it from there.
