"It's rather a trivial point. Being perceived as an alpha is a precondition for even being considered for the office of alpha-of-all-alphas in America. It's so obvious as to be almost meaningless that to be an alpha one must be an alpha."
I'm glad we agree on that.
"The basic agenda of a presidential election is to demonstrate alpha credentials. That's why there's so much chest-pounding and loud roaring and stereotypical primate grimacing and posturing and grunting. That's why Republicans in particular, more attuned to the primitive patterns of force and authority, try to make each presidential campaign a referendum on toughness and willingness to resort to violence."
I'm not aware of any Republican has suggested attacking Pakistan [or Saudi Arabia].
Though threating to wipe out Iran if it uses nukes against Israel [or other countries] is not enough- the policy should be to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. If this fails, destroying those nukes and ability to make them is the next priority.
