The general should take another look at game 12 of the Anand-Topalov match.

If that is another sacrifice, I think we have made enough already.

During the 2008 campaign I somewhat facetiously suggested that all the war folks get together and pick one war. iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, whatever. Their choice. We would fight that war and not go home until we won it. Whatever winning means in the modern parlance. Annihilate the population. Whatever. But until that war is won, and we get at least a brief rest, we don't fight any others.

More seriously, it can't be right to hop from place to place blowing a lot of things up in each and then moving on to the next.

Hi:

You are recalling what happened in WWII.

It did work.

Regards,
Robert
