“What I could not support was "a dumb war, a rash war, a war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics".”

“Any war that requires the suspension of reason as a necessity for support is a bad war.”

“Politics is war without blood, while war is politics with blood.”

“This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games. All games are basically hostile. Winners and losers. We see them all around us: the winners and the losers. The losers can oftentimes become winners, and the winners can very easily become losers. ”

“All war is based in deception (cfr. Sun Tzu, “The Art of War”).Definition of deception: “The practice of deliberately making somebody believe things that are not true. An act, a trick or device entended to deceive somebody”.Thus, all war is based in metaphor.All war necessarily perfects itself in poetry.Poetry (since indefinable) is the sense of seduction.Therefore, all war is the storytelling of seduction, and seduction is the nature of war.”

“A blanket could be used to stop a war, particularly if that war is a Cold War.
