Is blu-ray even big enough? First generation blu-ray movies were on a single layer 25gb discs, and the quality was inferior to HD-DVD. How much of the 50gb disc is a movie going to take?
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
