Only after such experience could such decisions and associated implications be fully understood as part of a balanced decision. Such an approach would not produce a 'weak or indecisive' policy as some assert. But would ensure that if a nation has to use force it will be as an absolute and not as a first comfort measure.

Good point Brin.But sometimes it doesn't always hold true. John Kerry and John McCain are just two that come to mind. In my opinion at least.
