Tyrannical on 13 February 2009
Xbox 360 games claimed five spots in the January top 10, including "Left 4 Dead," "Call of Duty: World at War," "Skate 2," "Lord of the Rings: Conquest," and "Gears of War 2" (January NPD data)
Gears of Wars 2 wasn't on the top ten list I saw.
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.
