What is your opinion?
"At the first bend, I had the clear sensation that Tazio had taken it badly and that we would end up in the ditch; I felt myself stiffen as I waited for the crunch. Instead, we found ourselves on the next straight with the car in a perfect position. I looked at him, his rugged face was calm, just as it always was, and certainly not the face of someone who had just escaped a hair-raising spin. I had the same sensation at the second bend. By the fourth or fifth bend I began to understand; in the meantime, I had noticed that through the entire bend Tazio did not lift his foot from the accelerator, and that, in fact, it was flat on the floor. As bend followed bend, I discovered his secret. Nuvolari entered the bend somewhat earlier than my driver's instinct would have told me to. But he went into the bend in an unusual way: with one movement he aimed the nose of the car at the inside edge, just where the curve itself started. His foot was flat down, and he had obviously changed down to the right gear before going through this fearsome rigmarole. In this way he put the car into a four-wheel drift, making the most of the thrust of the centrifugal force and keeping it on the road with the traction of the driving wheels. Throughout the bend the car shaved the inside edge, and when the bend turned into the straight the car was in the normal position for accelerating down it, with no need for any corrections."

    War is last resort but sometimes a neccessary last resort. Diplomacy means nothing unless you are willing to put a boot in someone's **** when they need it.

    Wasn't the original working title for 'War and Peace' : 'War, what is it good for?'.

    No, that is the tag line for the song "War" by the Temptations from the album Psychedelic Shack and goes like this:

    War....Ugh....What is it good for?....Absolutely nothin'....Say it again...

    I believe that is where the Seinfeld line comes from.

    Hey micah, why do you feel that we should not discuss the possiblity for war? Freedom of speech to discuss this topic should not be problem as long as it is good taste, not trying to pick on you I am just curious as to why. Personally I am very nervous about the situation as whole, but I know that what must be done, must be done to protect our rights and our country from further attacks.

    What do you think about a country that is the dominant world power, no opposition, and it continues to spend 50% of its disposable income on (after welfare) armaments?

    War is hell, but sometimes a necessary evil. Do I personally want to see us get into another war - NO. But when all the diplomacy comes to a standstill, when all other efforts of keeping the peace have been tried and failed, then it may be the only option left. Let's just hope to hell it doesn't come down to that. I know we have thousands of our very best ready to defend our beliefs and way of life, but I would hate to lose even one of them.
