The result: WWII
That was such a good deal at Versailles, wasn't it?
No, "every means at it's disposal" is NOT the right attitude. If you really believe what you said you should have photos of General Giap and Che up on your wall as heroes. Terrorism, gurilla warfare, etc., are what you are obviously lead to if you REALLY believe what you said. And let's not forget biological weapons. They are really quite effective.
But when we have done that, we have lost. We have become the people we say we are fighting against. Who do you retaliate against when it's a Detroit born fanatic who blows up a tunnel? How many civilians do you kill to shout out to the world that our principles are something to be admired?

Sorry, OldT, Im calling Bull Shit on this.You do remember that after we thouroughly whipped both Japan and Germany, we then helped them rebuild into extremely productive Countrys.
But first we had to get rid of the Nazis and the Emperialist who's aim was to bring other people into subjegation.
I see NO corralation between WW-1 and WW-2 in this respect.
