It turns out that the board game "RISK" is a superb geo-political strategy simulator, so realistic that the Bush administration uses it to make decisions. From "Air Force One: A History of the Presidents and Their Planes" by Kenneth T. Walsh:Another innovation is Bush's interest in the board game Risk, in which players amass armies and try to conquer the world. En route home from Europe in July 2001, Bush supervised a particularly competitive game. The president encouraged each participant to take the biggest risks possible and to attack each other mercilessly. At one point, he goaded his military aide, supposedly an expert on military maneuvers and strategy, to take some chances. When he did so and found his armies annihilated, Bush teased the aide for being the first to lose...the commander in chief yelled "You're a wimp! Go get 'em."
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!
