the only option would be to remove ALL of them, and all who would replace them, from the public sphere.

That's a road that history tells us we don't want to think about going down, given how flawed mortals typically end up screwing that up in horrific fashion.

As for the WOT, if it has no conceivable end, then it's a bizarre Orwellian construct that deserves critical scrutiny before it becomes an unquestioned fixture in our society. Like E said, questioning it does not equate with wanting to undermine it.

I guess the answer to your question is, "no, I can't define what a victory would look like." So long as there are people who refuse to compromise on anything, the only option would be to remove ALL of them, and all who would replace them, from the public sphere.

Given your answer, can you see any problem with the way that we are currently prosecuting the WOT?
