Only simpletons think resets are solutions. Simpletons do know, neither grasp the concept of process versus events.
They think only in terms of events. They reason that by creating an event, a reset in our case, solves the problem. It does not.
Modern globalized world is a complex construction. It can move on based on a sequence of events (involving various mindsets Anglos, Latinos, Asians and Blacks). It is only based on processes that, apparently, is not moving but if looked under a holistic perspetcive is moving a fast speed.
For simpletons, it must be demonstrated on an Excel sheet with numbers in it. But numbers do not display the complexities that lies underneath. For them, it must be shown that, it was there yesterday, it is here today and tomorrow will be over there. Stupid! It moves, ahead, stops, moves sideways, moves back wards, sudden jumps ahead and it will get there. It has always gotten there.
Simpleton is Bush administration. Go do a Shock and Awe. No one shoots back. Enter the country. People wold line the streest throwing flowers at the liberators. Remove Saddam. Land in an aircraft carrier. Say: Mission accomplished. Put puppet pliable government. Show some reconstruction work.
But we knew from day one that this is not going to ahppen and said the best course of action was to end the damn thing in pizza.
Russia and Iran one must first try to understand what is inside the head of the collective people. Not in the program or speeches of the politicos. Need to understand what make them happy. What make them worried. What they think under a given circumstance...
This is complexity. This is not something that can be put on a Excel sheet or described on a sngle A-4 page.
Simpletons will always lose. Just given them time and a rope and they hang themselves. |
