Of course the inference is Creepy Joe is the singer and he's sucking up to the Shiek. I thought it more appropriate than Strangers in the Night because this harem scarem has been going on a helluva lot longer!
But Yeah Maria Muldaur was cute in the day!

Ha, there's a lesson in there. Julius Ceasar had a quote. He's remembered far better than a better general, Alexander who did more, but didn't have a quote. Teddy Roosevelt had a Big Stick, Franklin nothing to fear but fear itself, Churchill, This is our finest hour.
Now what that means is we are totally screwed. "Trump's fault" has no zing, no staying power, no hope, it's as zero as Joe. And excuse me but if I hear another of our current generals talking about equitable retaliation, I'll lose it. If you are going to use your military you prosecute the action to win, win decisively, and win quickly. Anything else is a testimony to making the arms corporations wealthier at the cost of many lives.
When Alexander won. He looked for more. The ancient world was lucky he died. He would not have stopped. And so it goes even today. The only way to stop the carnage is to destroy the aggressor as quickly as possible and contain their demise within a famous quote of a competent leader.
In fairness, his army decided to stop. They had gone from Greece to India and were ready to stop and enjoy the spoils they had earned. They didn't want to go on and fight massive Indian armies in lands they had never heard of. But then maybe he would have chosen to go west at that point and create a Roman empire centered in Greece.

He was what? Early 30's. What else did he know to do? Genghis Khan had a similar trajectory. It's a martial culture. You conquer something else.
