Talk is over

To bad some countries doesn't learn from history and think they can do it so much better. Yeah,, that is indeed the mentality of an upgrowing teenager

The analogy that came to my mind in the last months was Cato's "ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam". Carthago had stopped being a threat to Rome since decades, had lost two wars against them but for Cato, it had to be destroyed, its pure existance seem to pose such a huge threat that he was obsessed with that idea. Well, he had his way 146 BC, with the first opportunity when Carthago seem to not "behave".
Well today, such a window of opportunity has opened for someone else in the middle east, and they are not going to let it pass unused. Of course, today's methods are more subtil, not simply destroying a place, and of course it's called "war against terror" and "liberating people". Woohoo!
