on the topic of the mighty gun...

the pen (in the hands of, say, greenspan, wall street, framers of nafta, etc.) seems to have been proven to be mightier than the sword (or gun, if you will) - at least in the last twenty years.

(unless you've figured out how to "gun down" the national debt and the trade deficit? )

(and the swiss' hands aren't so clean re: wwII, collaboration etc.)
