I'm not interested in paying for online videos, so 1080p streaming is something I don't care about. I do watch the Netflix on the xbox quite a bit, so I hope they keep expanding their catalog.
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.
