twitter....next i guess they'll be unliking each other on facebook.
seriously tho, probably not a bad idea. i have to think in the age of instant communication, and easy access to info, that maybe people will be less inclined to go to war.
in the days of the revolution, etc, it took months to find out news. the war of 1812 was a direct result of incredibly slow communication. we made a demand, and then declared war-and found after we'd started the fight that we'd actually gotten what we wanted. whoops.
and slow news also made a hero out of andrew jackson. his unnecessary battle in new orleans was won and news spread before the word that a treaty had been signed got back to the u.s.
yeah, this 'chicken' is all for war being the last resort, as it should be.
