Nice article to read for pass time! However, its only good for reading if one wants a lesson of morals. In today's world, these words are better said than done. For example, the article encourages not considering the offer of f18s by the US. respectable but not a wise strategic decision. Why? Its always good to have some of the US arsenal in our inventory since their weakness could only be understood by having to study them closely. Besides, f18s are among the world's most reliable aircraft. Having atleast some at the risk of sanctions of course is not that bad as it seems considering the training edge our pilots could have over the enemy once they have a good knowledge of what kind of enemy aircraft they are dealing with. Sure, morally it may not sound right, and our integrity may seem out of place.... but after having a huge diplomatic failure of such proportions, it really makes no difference anymore. We should follow a simple real world motto, all successful western countries follow. "Follow your interests more than your moral instincts".
