We should never let old men lead us to war; they have too little to lose.
My contention is that wars should be settled by putting an old (my age, say) general/secretary of war/president from each side in a cool room, wearing only their skivvies, and armed only with rolled-up damp towels. A couple of big welts each from getting popped with those babies, and they'll be ready to sind down and talk about it....
