Keep talking!

We teach our children that it's better to talk one's way out of a tough spot than to resort to violence and risk a black eye. So what does our government do when confronted with an international adversary? It severs diplomatic ties and cuts off all channels of meaningful communication.

It doesn't take a strong leader to enforce his policies by unleashing the most powerful military in the world; it takes a strong leader to exercise restraint.
