I suspect you are right, Allen. In my dream world, Governments would recognize risks and take action beforehand to mitigate them (e.g., strategy=ends, ways and means). Instead, we wait until something bad happens, point fingers, commission studies to look at the problem, create new organizations, and spend gobs of money after the fact (which is the antithesis of strategy).
