Related to yesterday’s post, we cannot let our guard down with this enemy. They are strong, and willful. They don’t believe they will lose. They don’t believe they are the under dogs. I found this quote on The Belmont Club by Winston Churchill:
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
“…you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” This is the motivational call by the terrorists. So we share some motivation. But we don’t share doubt. We don’t share reason. “How can we defeat a few extremists?” So few can do so much. And we say, “How can they think they can win?” They don’t reason.
