What is your stand on the various wars going on here, there, and everywhere?
It's just one war -- World War IV -- being fought against militant Islamic fundamentalism, on a number of fronts.
My "stand" is that we -- and by "we" I mean China, Russia, US, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Lebanon, etc., etc., etc., will win as secular modern states fighting the romantic, foolish forces who are legends in their own minds.
But the enemy is resourceful, and dishonorable, so we will suffer the murder of many of our infants, children, pretty women in bathing suits, old men and women in wheelchairs, shopkeepers in their shops, businesspeople on their way to work, etc., etc., etc., and it will be very sad for us. But we will keep going and we will prevail, because we have no choice. |
