[Am-info] [Fwd: A mere nuisance?]

[Gene Gaines]

Geoffrey,

(Below) I respect your passion, but twisted thinking there.

Old proverb.  Know your enemy.  Understand it is better
to coopt and neutralize your enemy than to fight him,
because war will cost both sides.

The most foolish fight is when you go after another entity
and do not have the competence to gather up your friends
before starting the fight.

I understand this will sound flip-flop and weak to raving
Bush-Cheney-ites, but it is best to listen carefully to
your real and potential enemies.  "Kill em all" is not a
sound nation or business or ethical practice.

Great way to start a way and engineer war profits, but
not good for your country.  Or the world.

David and Goliath.  Was David a terrorist?

Think about it.
