Rubicon

"WAR IS A RACKET. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious . . . It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

The finale very nearly ruined the show for me; I came to the confident conclusion that the writers were just making stuff up from episode to episode. Great performances by Michael Cristofer and Arliss Howard though.

Really would have been interesting to see this a real chance.
