So if a civil war develops, causes the death of hundreds of thousends
innocent people who have done nothing wrong (particularly not to you),
probably millions loose their home and everything they have (which in
most cases wasn't much to start with), a whole generation of children
has no chance to live a normal childhood but has to grow up in war, hate
and fear etc. etc., *you win*? What a disgusting point of view!

Welcome to geopolitics, Stefan. I didn't say it was a good thing --
but it's the real deal.

Bottom line: Screwing with the U.S. (at least since 1945) has
traditionally been a lose-lose situation. Even Viet Nam, which
supposedly "won" its war with America, lost two generations to war.
Some victory.

Why do you think so few countries are dumb enough to try it?
