Ethical limits was: breastle screen for HLA Adventure 956

By the way, I hate that term. It does nothing towards teaching us about how governments are run and what they do at negotiating tables.

I've spent some time studying Korean history and politics. N. Korea seemed to play Russia against China and visa versa. My premise is that they are playing the same games but with toys that can backfire on them.

Isn't Burma's folklore based on a two-clbutt system?

I'm starting to read about what happened to the Shah. I don't understand this one at all. Dayan talks about this a little bit.

I read some about the history of the Foreign Legion. France sure seems to meddle and then expect others to clean up the mess.

This was the lasting effects of WWII. Appeasement of the USSR, namely Stalin, was done. They had hooks in Britain's policitical system, the unions, etc. We see the results of that in this thread.

Kennedy's dealing with Cuban problems were terrible. He gave the Russians a clear impression that he was soft, had no spine, and decided they were free to do anything they wanted. The more I read about the politics of the 70s and 80s, the more I'm grateful that the USSR was run by humans, too.

I understand that. None of this Gentleman's Rules works if the other party doesn't play by those social rules.

Yes. I don't think these gentleman politicians have a handle on reality. If it's frightening, the only way to deal with it is pretend the siutation doesn't exist. Our Democrats are showing this in just about every speech they make for the last 6 years. I don't understand how people can ignore this. I understand trying to pretend it's not there for a little while. But anybody who has had any farming background knows that the sooner you get started, the sooner and less messier the project will become.

And none can form their strategy based on f***ing polls of the moment. I'm looking for statemanship; it is nonexistant in our intelligensia. The ones who do have it are treated very badly. I think we're still dealing with the Clinton legacy that was based in Hollywood.

BAH
