Weak men are the light troops in the army of the wicked. They do more harm than the main force; they overrun and and ravage the country.

[Les gens faibles sont les troupes légères de l’armée des méchans. Ils font plus de mal que l’armée même; ils infestent et ils ravagent.]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 2, ¶ 133 (1795) [tr. Mathers (1926)]

For anyone younger than 24 who maybe doesnt remember the #WarOnTerror - all we had to do was invade a few countries and round up all the #EvilDoers and torture and kill them a bit. And that's how we solved #terrorism

Were there some naysayers? Absolutely, but we ignored them. And that's why it turned out so well. It's actually pretty dope.

A quotation from The Bible

You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you that you must not oppose those who want to hurt you. If people slap you on your right cheek, you must turn the left cheek to them as well. When they wish to haul you to court and take your shirt, let them have your coat too. When they force you to go one mile, go with them two. Give to those who ask, and don’t refuse those who wish to borrow from you.

[Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη, “Ὀφθαλμὸν ἀντὶ ὀφθαλμοῦ” καὶ “ὀδόντα ἀντὶ ὀδόντος.” ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ἀντιστῆναι τῷ πονηρῷ· ἀλλ᾽ ὅστις σε ῥαπίζει εἰς τὴν δεξιὰν σιαγόνα [σου], στρέψον αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ἄλλην· καὶ τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον· καὶ ὅστις σε ἀγγαρεύσει μίλιον ἕν, ὕπαγε μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ δύο. τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε δός, καὶ τὸν θέλοντα ἀπὸ σοῦ δανίσασθαι μὴ ἀποστραφῇς.]

The best part is, none of these norms became used in the wrong way, like by the wrong people, or anything. And it totally preserved and protected our freedoms, democracy, and civil liberties. All of the things the #EvilDoers were so jealous of.

So anyway, when you look around and wonder why there's no terrorism. Remember the unsung hero of this story: the #WarOnTerror

Hope you enjoyed the history lesson chaps!

A quotation from Moliere:

«
ALCESTE: Some men I hate for being rogues; the others
I hate because they treat the rogues like brothers,
And, lacking a virtuous scorn for what is vile,
Receive the villain with a complaisant smile.
»
