Thanks Jesse. Yes, like in sports, coaches can only do so much if they don't have the right advantages in players. In each piece I try to challenge perceptions and propaganda. Although I'm not sure I agree about what's feasible I believe that's just semantics--you're right, not a good option for all the reasons you mention.

Indeed, the next piece I'm working on is why, what I think they're doing (again, they're good at hiding their strategy) is the best strategy.

Thanks for putting the counter argument to this piece so succinctly!
