As our shrinking planet proceeds through its cross-fertilization and spreading stages, we'll see these waves of invasion and retreat, "plant wars" with victors and the vanquished.
We might have longed for the relative settled-ness of provincial isolation, but that's been ruined forever.
We're in a new Darwinian world of increasing strife and adaptation.
But, "Sometimes invasive species are good."
