JC Wilcox’s farrago of obsessive-compulsive disorders ceased to be mildly diverting some time ago. Is he perhaps itching for another major European war? Perhaps JC wishes to return to the crude balance of power politics that shredded the notion of collective European security and led directly to a drastic reordering of the world order in the first half of the last century. These developments, remember, resulted in mega-deaths several orders of magnitude greater than anything seen before. Before this contributor deems to deride what he dismisses as the “pseudo-erudite” contributions of others, he needs a total and complete rebuilding of his own intellectual house.
