Too many good folks sacrificed too many good things so that we could fly it as high as we want. They did what they did in part because we can pretty much fly that flag as high as we want just about anywhere we want, including the moon.<br /><br />10 years after Pearl Harbor, we used a humiliated, subordinated, & partially radioactive Japan as a base from which to fight off yet another enemy in Korea. Maybe we didn't 'win' there, but we did stop them, with the willing & humble help of our previous enemy. 10 years after 9/11 and we're all supposed to be prostrated before the alter of PC & Kumbaya?<br /><br />Reading your last sentence, I wondered when it was you were working for me, as I was that kind of boss then, too. I truly thought - and shared aloud - that we had a license to nuke just about anyone for about a week or two that September. And yes, that's what I wanted.
