Extremist goals: push confrontation The beheading of yet another western captive by the so- called Islamic State group was meant to outrage Europe and the U.S., and it goes without saying, it worked. Before the allies respond, however, we need to carefully ex- amine the goals of this brutal faction and determine how to fight it in a way that will result, someday, in a more peaceful world. These radicals surely don’t believe the West, or even the es- tablished governments of Mideastern countries, will be cowed by their actions. Powerful nations do not need to fear such a tiny faction, brutal and violent as it may be. But the group may hope to provoke a wider confrontation that will draw the U.S. and our allies into yet another ground war. That strategy has failed us. We have proven our forces can invade and conquer small east Asian countries, but rebel fac- tions, especially the Taliban, have shown they will not give up. And when we shift from conquest to occupation, we have proven from Vietnam to Iraq that we are not ruthless enough to subdue determined opposition. It’s virtually impossible; the main result is that our people get tired of continual war.

Will it make a difference? I always associ- ated “butter” with margarine, but I know they are not the same. – Cynthia Z., via email Yes, they are not the same! Butter and marga- rine are very different: One is from animals, and the other is man-made. They taste different, too. However, when cooking and baking most items, stick margarine usually can be interchanged with butter. But if you are substituting margarine for Dave Green butter, be sure to use one that is at least 80 percent Conceptis Sudoku • By Dave Green vegetable oil.

And it goes without saying that the more opportunities you give them to make mistakes, the more mistakes they’ll make. Assume you’re West in today’s deal, defending against four spades. You cash two club tricks and shift to a heart. You don’t think your partner can have the ace, but you hope you’re wrong. Declarer wins the heart with dummy’s queen and leads the five of spades. East produces the ten and South the king, whereupon you should follow smoothly with the deuce! If you do, you might defeat the contract, while if you take the king with the ace, declarer is sure to get home safely. Zits Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott Let’s first assume you took the king with the • ace, which is what might happen if you weren’t paying close attention to your knitting. No matter what you did next, declarer would sooner or later cash the queen of spades, felling East’s jack, and so finish with 10 tricks. But if you duck the king of spades, South will have a tough problem to solve. He won’t know whether East started with the A-10 (in which case playing a low trump next makes the contract) or the J-10 (in which case playing the queen wins). South might guess right even if you hold up your ace at trick two, but he has no chance of go- ing wrong if you take it at your first opportunity. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
