      The Evil Empire was simply not ruthless enough, darn it! They sould have done like the Italians in Lybia in the 20's, and used Chemical weapons against those damned tribesmen! A few tactical nukes wouldn;t have hurt, either....

          Well is a relative term.

          Anyway, that's because no other major power has been supporting the other side.
