[Assam] force is effective only as a preventative

Dear Sushanta,
 
The analogy between the "Emperor" and the "Pirate" applies here. The "Emperor" (Alexander) molested the world, but had retained the right to punish the "Pirate", who had molested a few ships. The reason for this view is obvious; there would be no end to this debate, as the debate has not been resolved even by 'war', the extreme method of seeking a resolution. 
 
But at the same time, use of less adjectives, and more of reasons, would augur well for an argument. The use of the word 'concrete' by a German lady (who was a communist, but Gestapo could not ascertain her leanings through severe interrogation) at the fag end of an inqusition gave her away (Refer to: The God that Failed) . So, it would be better to stick to admitted facts (even what is fact for you may not be fact for another) beyond reproach would make your case stronger, and even your detractors would keep a guarded silence or stay away from entering a debate or try to evade the moot issues, unless they have a vested interest in scoring over you. :-) 
 
Just tell me why should you call the British 'bloody'; the empire could not do otherwise than to set up an empire, because the growth of mercantile activities  had to find a market world-wide; just like the present US, which cannot do without looting the scarce fossil fuel of the middle-east. If they rely only on their own resources, the domestic prices would soar, transportation costs will increase, all bills would go high, and the halcyon days now reigning in the US may end up in a dated 'concept' of 'armed rebellion' ( the citizens have more liberty to carry weapons than in our place) for which they have already put in place the Homeland Security 'idea' instead of 'concept'!
