It's not that hard to understand the lesson of Viet Nam. Never never
never never defend one tyrant against another, because The worst thing
that can happen is you might win. The *Gulf* war was worse than Nam.

Match as many or as few as you like:

$ ls *.cc *.h

Also, you should keep in mind that the dot "." is just simply another legal
filename character; there are no "extensions" in *nix. An "extension" is a
MICROS~1ism, and is to a large extent the nature of the problems with that
software.
