I love Monty Python, thanks for the memory.

P.S. Let's not forget that we bombed the sh*t out of Vietnam
(actually we bombed Laos) with B52s and other jets and still did not
win. It takes more than a bigger gun to win a fight. Best bet is not
to get into a fight, or if you do, destroy your enemy to the last man
with no mercy, rewrite history to hide the fact that that particular
enemy ever existed and you might have a chance of not getting a
retaliation from sympathizers.

Ha! Not only can we beat 'em with one hand tied behind our back, but we

can
do it with both hands and feet tied and blindfolded, too!



Blindfold is made in China - along with EVERYTHING else at Wal-Mart, Target,
K-Mart, NAPA Auto Parts, etc, etc, etc.

I'm not sure we've beat'em. I think the game has changed.

Just as the US took the long view (a.k.a. The Cold War) in dealing with the
former Soviet Union, I think China is taking the long view in dealing,
economically, with the US.

As we discovered post WWI - with economic clout, comes world power.

Heck, The Dutch, with their economic advantage - great ships, were a world
power at one time!!!

Yes, we've got B-52's, but the Chinese have an unlimited peasant labor
force. The game is world power, who's got the better team on the field?


Arthur: Look, you stupid *******. You've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.

Arthur: Look!
Black Knight: Just a flesh wound!

ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch.

ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.

(...many limbs later)

ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible!

ARTHUR: You're a looney.
BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on, then.

[whop]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's last leg off]

BLACK KNIGHT: Oh? All right, we'll call it a draw.

Only due to the utmost restraint.

But that's another thread!
