Ep 263 Sun Tzu is Shaking his head over Syria - Excellence vs Arrogance

Talking about Syria with my 7th and 8th graders today made me think about Sun Tzu and his work "The Art of War". As far as I can tell, America is doing everything Sun Tzu explained as the way to lose and go bankrupt.
It is pure arrogance on the part of America to think that they can ignore the lessons of the past and continue on this path of self-destruction.
