"Maybe the incoming leaders of the Democrat congress, especially those holding key committee posts, should be locked in a room with this book and a few others before they start trying to redirect our war policy."
You'd have to lock someone in there with them would would actually read it and write a position paper for them.
Lock them in with the book, and don’t let them out until they can pass a test on it.
Of course, that assumes they know how to read and think. But if they don’t, there would be no harm in locking them up forever, would there? Or maybe until they agreed to quit their jobs and never work for government again.
