I'm getting tired of quoting Sun Tzu to the Republican Chicken-Hawks controlling the White House and (unfortunately) the fate of a good chunk of humanity. But still - you would think they can't possibly be as dense and clueless as that, can they?

Anyway - here's another lesson from Sun Tzu President Chicken-Hawk failed to heed:

"Do not figure on opponents not attacking; worry about your own lack of preparation. When you can attack anywhere and defend everywhere, your military strategy is complete."

Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Chp. 6, Emptiness and Fullness.
