During a recent discussion about his book titled “Invisible Armies,” Max Boot touched on the subject of America’s war in Afghanistan and noted that during our Revolutionary War against the British Empire, our first 13 colonies played the very role of guerilla warfare that is now being played against us by the Afghan rebels. He appeared to be making the point that it is one thing for a powerful military force to overcome an opposing military force as we did during World War Two, it is another thing to assume that a military force can defeat another nation’s guerilla force tactics.

In my view, we in America have learned very little from our own history and as a consequence, we have found ourselves repeating the dire mistakes made by so many great powers in the past.

I know I am repeating myself when I suggest that it is past time for America to concentrate on repairing and making solid and secure its own national body including our infrastructure and all of our citizens. In the end, we will only be as healthy and as strong as our own internal national body allows us to be.

Of course ...... I admit I could be wrong and Pink Floyd could be right. Click on to their Youtube performance and then, you decide.
