希望有一天吧！然而，即使是法治社会，也有个人因素。里根入侵巴拿马，就是抛开国会的总统决定。

当时如是民主党做总统，就几乎肯定不会出兵。

当年北军打到亚特兰大，Sherman 不管妇孺残弱，一把火烧了几个星期。然后 Savannah，Charleston and Columbia, 一路烧杀到海边！
Sherman summed up the goal of his military maneuvers in grim terms: "We cannot change the hearts of those people, but we can make war so terrible...[and] make them so sick of war that generations would pass away before they would again appeal to it." 是不是也算是乱世用重典了！历史是残酷的！
