Why subject your children and grandchildren to never ending war when you have the means and ability to end it? Rome made a final decision about Carthage, and the Punic wars (and the religious child sacrifice) ended. <br /><br />This is how history works. Some tribes you conquer and assimilate. Some tribes you conquer and subjugate. Some tribes you conquer and exterminate. <i>Before they do it to you.</i>McChuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243337792601085456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-73179590692795291872019-09-12T17:14:44.241-04:002019-09-12T17:14:44.241-04:00Yes...

"the genocide thing"... but recall at the end of ww2 in pac theater, we nuked a couple cities to the tune of hundreds of thousands of casualties - and firebombed to near/complete destruction - dozens more leading up to that, to get a message across to the adherents of a near religious political group, that the time for peace was now. It still doesn't seem like it was an unreasonable action from a cold practical math standpoint. Add on the fact that there was a race to get those weapons at that time... oh, oops, forgot - the race is still going on even though we already have them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-36231710824885231312019-09-11T17:43:54.282-04:002019-09-11T17:43:54.282-04:00You wouldn't believe (maybe you would...) what...You wouldn't believe (maybe you would...) what the network feeds had on them that morning.....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-8394263405034850332019-09-11T16:37:59.164-04:002019-09-11T16:37:59.164-04:00Well said.
