It has been said that in life, the test is given before the lesson. Oh so true if one doesn’t pay attention to history, but what teenager ever did? Mark Twain had the right of it with his comment on children and parents. My experience has been no different.

But, maybe, we should expect more. Perhaps we should all pay a bit more attention to the lessons hard-learned by those before. The knowledge is readily available. At the least, we would have a better idea of whom to pay attention to, and those in need of a cranial-rectolotomy (the removal of the head from the a**).

True, but in both cases we wish we hadn’t had to learn the lesson the hard way, with a “character building” moment. .

This is kind of sad. Their nacent program has suffered several set backs.

I would like to see them succeed, and ideally be an ally in the cold war with China.

I hope this is just growing pains.
