希望有一天吧！然而，即使是法治社會，也有個人因素。裏根入侵巴拿馬，就是拋開國會的總統決定。

當時如是民主黨做總統，就幾乎肯定不會出兵。

當年北軍打到亞特蘭大，Sherman 不管婦孺殘弱，一把火燒了幾個星期。然後 Savannah，Charleston and Columbia, 一路燒殺到海邊！
Sherman summed up the goal of his military maneuvers in grim terms: "We cannot change the hearts of those people, but we can make war so terrible...[and] make them so sick of war that generations would pass away before they would again appeal to it." 是不是也算是亂世用重典了！曆史是殘酷的！
