Тем, кто считает президента Буша тупым

А так же тем, кто считает что война в Ираке ведётся исключительно ради нефти. И тем, кто искренне считает что… Впрочем чего я буду перечислять? Вот тут очень хорошо про всё это написано.

Небольшая цитата о том, стоит ли вести мирные переговоры с варварами:

What I do see are barbarian forces closing in and sacking Rome because the Romans no longer had the will to defend themselves. Payments of tribute to the barbarian hordes only funded the creation of larger and better-armed hordes. The depredations of Viking Raiders throughout Northern Europe produced much in the way of ransom payments. The more ransom that was paid, the more aggressive and warlike the Vikings became. Why? Because it was working, that’s why. And why not? Bluster costs nothing. If you can scare a person into giving you his hard-earned wealth, and suffer no loss in return, well then you my friend have hit the Vandal Jackpot. On the other hand, if you are, say, the Barbary Pirates, raiding and looting and having a grand time of it all, and across the world sits a Jefferson – you know, Mr. Liberty and Restraint – who has decided he has had enough and sends out an actual Navy to track these bastards down and sink them all… well, suddenly raiding and piracy is not such a lucrative occupation. So, contrary to doomsayers throughout history, the destruction of the Barbary Pirates did not result in the recruitment of more Pirates. The destruction of the Barbary Pirates resulted in the destruction of the Barbary Pirates.

    Everybody is entitled to their opinion. What it boils down to in the end is whether you are able to defend your opinion – davinism in action. If you’re thinking: “it’s not like that”, try to put Russia, or any other country for that matter in the place of Iraq, and I can assure you the above logic will work just fine….So, I guess, it means, it’s not about logic or what we want to call logic, but rather about some specific goals, that everybody pursues in this game…

    1. What is davinism?
    2. Where am I thinking “it’s not like that” and what is exactly not like what?
    3. What is the Iraq place, so any country could be put into it?
    4. And what are your goals if you ignore logic for a sake of achieving them?
    5. And if you can not express yourself – you better learn to do it.
