Proportional Response - Thomas Sowell
Fighting wars the way we have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan is no way ti win a war. Gone are the days of shock and awe I suppose. Allowing politicians to fight a war instead of trained military officers is a bad idea.
Proportional Reponse is a theory of retaliation with like tactics and weapons. Not bringing a knife to a fist fight, or a gun to knife fight. We should rarely if ever go to war. But when we do go to war, we should fight to win, and worry about what comes next only after the fighting ends. Defeating your enemy brings the best peace. If you don't believe me, check out countries which have been solidly defeated and forced to surrender, such as Japan, after WWII.
