I have been expecting an uproar about the four French who were killed by Sunni extremists in Suadi Arabia for the last week. And yet, other than screams of "atrocity!," "barbaric," and such, nothing has happened. Once again, we are faced with an ignorance of the Arabic tribal and religious culture that has cost us over 3100 U.S. lives and by the time it is all over, probably $3 trillion dollars or more. Why can't we just stop for a moment and ask ourselves, "What would Mohammed do??"

When I was there, I was permitted to take a few electives and I choose mostly history electives--history electives that had something to do with war, warfare, military history, and the causes and military execution of conflict. If this subject happens to interest you, West Point is a great place to study,

Lessons can be learned and more importantly, mistakes can be studied--and if you are not stupid--not repeated. Read More
