There is nothing cowardly about a nation that refuses to fight a war with one hand behind its back -- in fact, the Union DID try that in the first couple of years.

I'd be the guy who relies on a huge, fast industry to begin forming an army once the war begins. I think FDR did something like that, but I'm not sure.

I think of myself as a U.S. Grant. He drank to much, wasn't necessarily the best at what he did, and he rubbed people the wrong way but he was tenacious and kept trying even after he'd failed several times. He succeeded through shear force of will and because he would do things which smarter men would refuse to do, but, in the end that's what made him great.

Two things -- first, I'm assuming you meant the last seven words, not the last six words.

Second -- I don't think LTEC would look kindly on that last post of yours, if that is the case.
