I'll tell you how we "win" if that's what you want to call it. Line the "dangerous" ones up and Mistress Heather will whip them silly.

My expertise lies elsewhere, but heres my two dracmas worth. To settle any conflict two parties need to sit down and negotiate for what it is they want. I don't believe that's possible with the renegade tribes we are currently waring against, because they don't want the Americans in the Middle East period, we'll just have to find oil elsewhere, but first we need to fix that nasty little leak in Alaska. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go clean off my whips...
