War is Always the Answer

Uniting the topics of my two previous posts is some interesting material from the always reliable FoxNews.

Steve Forbes, apparently ignoring every lesson of recent history, argues that "the bottom line with Iran is, when we have the confrontation, which we will have, we can really deal with that crisis. Then the price of oil will come down. The longer we let it fester, the higher the price of oil will stay."

Can the US spare the military manpower? The military resources? The financial resources (can we afford all the tax cuts that war will bring)? Any remaining belief throughout the world that we are not a country that is willing to kill populations to promote our financial interests?
