Don't be shamed. Everything I know about Chruchill I learned from listening to Iron Maiden. Everything I know about World War II I learned by watching the Hitler Channel.

Yes, you should definitely be humbled by this. BOW TO ME! ;-)

You were basically agreeing with me, only you were refuting part of what I said. I completely agree that the main thrust of this campaign will be to stop terror and protect ourselves and others. I do believe that the concept of "justice" plays a part in that, though. But you are definitely right in what you say, that our main thrust will be a proactive defense of our nation.
