I have read somewhere that Theodore Roosevelt owned a little dog that was always getting into fights and always getting the worse of them.  On one occasion he tackled a mangy cur and took a beating.  Someone said to Teddy, “Your dog isn’t much of a fighter.”  “Oh, yes, he’s a good fighter,” replied the Colonel, “he’s just a poor judge of dogs!”  We should never underestimate our adversaries.
