You are to far to see/understand what's going on
we are to close and we squint [? loucher in french]
There is a need for someone not to far,not to close or having the right lenses.
Who can tell me WHO?
It is not like giving Texas to Mexique against full peace and normal relations.It is more like giving Texas and not be sure that ,instead of peace they will not attack you the day after they got Texas.
In this case they will attack you from the north border of Texas,not from the banks of Rio Grande.
Instead of hudge place like USA, think about a place 2 times smaler than the smallest american state.
One kilometer is much more than a thousand meters here,where narrow is 18 kilometers from sea to green line at the less wide part
Anyway ,you may know about it:
The Gordian knot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What was remarkable ( in the Jupiter temple ), it was a tank which, ensured one, had transported the father of Midas, Gordios. [... ] the yoke was a curiosity bus many nodes mingled the ones with it with the others in a confused tangle. Then like the natives affirmed that, according to the prediction of an oracle, that which would untie the inextricable bond would be the Master of Asia, the desire came in the heart from Alexandre to carry out this prediction [... ] the series of the nodes was so compact that neither the reflexion nor the sight made it possible to seize from which left this interlacing and where it was concealed. [... ] Without result, Alexandre fought lengthily against the secrecy of these nodes. "It does not matter," says it then, "the way of demolishing them" and of its sword it broke all the belts, thus eluding the prediction of oracle - or carrying it out.
Fifth-Curce, Stories , III, 1,14-18.
This is a 'web translation' much worst than my english In My Not So Humble Opinion,but you get the point.
And you get my point.
And i mean real sword,really broke the knot.I do not use it as an allegory.I do not mean around a table with a pen,i mean a real sword in metal,with canon powder,or dirty bomb or atome.
The ones still here after this will be quiet for a long time,maybe for ever.
Take notice i say the oneS not the one.And i do not have the slightest idea if we would be part of the ones.
I do not think war against Irak is the sword-well if they do not send us dirty bomb,if they do they nuke them,be sure of it-
But i do think that war against Irak will open a Pandora box that no one would be able to close for years.With some good,a Kurdish state , and many bad
Anyway i am here listening to Van Morrison "hymns to silence'.
I'am here and i stay here.They may kill me.
But we are stronger.We do not want to erease them from earth,we do not have hate.Like it we have cool\cold mind when defending ourselfs.
If you ever had a fight against someone,you know that the one who stays quiet and cool when fighting is the winner.You need to strike only once when the other is making noise and wind with his fists
Do not think i'am kind of Rambo,but i did send some neo nazi and skinheads to hospital.
Beside this,i am most of the time a very cool messing around nice idiot .
