perhaps, but a midwit he is. take the other midwit he's replying to in pekka's pic   when he says that  > politicians are not, and have never been, driven by morals in foreign policies. it is all about doing what is best for your country. he is right. he probably doesn't realize it, but he's talking about national interest, which is the primary motivator behind foreign policy, which you understand if you have any familiarity with political realism and power politics. so they know enough to know that, but they don't know enough to know that they don't know enough about the rest of the equation, i.e. military science & clausewitzian theory, to have an actually informed opinion. it's like math in the sense that knowing the answer is worthless unless you can show your work, because that demonstrates that you actually understand how to arrive at the correct conclusion. ...does that make sense? maybe i'm a midwit too
