Problem solved
What with all this talk of escalating wars and threats of war I'm reminded of another time when we were confronted by similiar circumstances and everyone walked in fear of what we felt was the inevitable nuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union. It was during the Cuban Missle crisis when my dad had reached the limits of his patience with Russia and its introduction of missiles to the Cuban mainland , especially when he learned that they were aimed directly at the United States. "That's it ", he cried, "no more fooling around. We gotta drop an IBM on them!" Dad was a little taken aback when he remembered that an IBM was a typewriter, but he chuckled and said, "Hell, you gotta go with the weapon you have" Remind you of somebody? Donald Rumsfeld could'nt have said it better.
