I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. -- Benjamin Franklin

"Things are not made much better by our national tendency to engage in bureaucrat-bashing. One has to have some perspective on this.[...] Both markets and governments have their imperfections; many things we might want to do collectively require us to choose between unsatisfactory alternatives."-James Q. Wilson, Bureaucracy, 1989.

Nobody who wins a war indulges in a bifurcated definition of victory. War is a political act; victory and defeat have meaning only in political terms. A country incapable of achieving its political objectives at an acceptable cost is losing the war, regardless of battlefield events.

Bifurcating victory (e.g. winning militarily, losing politically) is a useful salve for defeated armies. The "stab in the back" narrative helped take the sting out of failure for German generals after WWI and their American counterparts after Vietnam.

All the same, it's nonsense. To paraphrase Vince Lombardi, show me a political loser, and I'll show you a loser.

- Colonel Paul Yingling

And then, one day, it rained a man. Hallelujah!

And he said to Saint Peter "One more soldier reporting for duty, sir. I served my time in HELL"

"Never fear. Him is here" - Captain Chaos (Dom DeLuise), Cannonball Run

Mace Windu: Then our worst fears have been realized. We must move quickly if the Jedi Order is to survive.
