I wouldn't say I was cynical about War in general-after all, it's a big part of "the Human existence" and has been ever since the proverbial Dawn. Rather I'm just cynical about wars fought for the wrong reasons.

For sure. And I'm partial to this quote from Flavius Vegetius Renatus:
"Que desiderat pacem praeparet bellum"

"If you want peace prepare for war"

Whoops! 'QUI desiderat pacem ...'

Glad to note that I'm not the only one to suffer from FFS (Fat Finger Syndrome). Smile

Thank you Keith! Now how did that "e" get in there...it's 5 keys off to the left from my "i"!

This is what I get from writing like mad on the keyboard all day! (I have to blame my fat fingers on something...Wink.....)

PS You didn't eat your breakfast in a cyclone did you????
