A Kamakazi pilot's sacrifice was to spare his people the shame of defeat but the Looking Glass crew and the E4B pilot sacrificed themselves to tamp down an unfolding WWIII scenario which promised the extinction of the human race. Unfortunately the winning at any cost madness of Condor, Fargo and their ilk are still with us hoping for another global conflagration.
shareYeah, and they're named John McCain and Donald Trump.
As much as I dislike Obama, I trust that he would want to minimize human slaughter as much as possible in a situation like this, whereas I can easily see someone like Cheney insisting on 'winning' at all costs.
I thnk it is always hard trying to determine which aspirant for POTUS would deliver the best results for mankind. Hillary Clinton might want to saber rattle and take out Assad even though removing Hussein and Gaddafi made things worse
for millions.
I had a work colleague who was from Iraq, at the height of the Gulf War he said that as much as he hated Hussain, he was the only one who was able to maintain stability in Iraq.
His words now seem somewhat prophetic.
