If you do not know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere. The longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself. The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer. Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative. The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. A diamond is a chunk of coal that is made good under pressure. The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously. If peace is equated simply with the absence of war, it can become abject pacifism that turns the world over to the most ruthless. The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision. In relations with many domestically weak countries, a radio transmitter can be a more effective for form of pressure than a squadron of B-52's. |
