said Publilius Syrus in the last century before the birth of Our Lord. We as a nation would do well to listen to it as we sell bombs and bombers and God-knows-what-else to anybody who will buy them. How many of our enemies have we armed? Both Saddam Hussein and the Taliban certainly, and maybe Chavez's army. Did we think we could buy their love by arming them to kill our mutual enemies?
