People may have their heart in the so called righteous causes, but are they truly willing to pay the price for success in their goals? Are they true believers or is this simply a game, a fad, and a party for them? They are not. They cannot imagine the price to be paid because they cannot imagine the suffering of anyone other than themselves. It is part of the Elf Syndrome. The isolationist outlook of the elves of Middle Earth, even. Or simply the carefree long lives of the West that no longer can empathize with the dangers and stresses of nitty gritty reality for the common masses without power and defenses. But given Europe's economic and social fabric, things will soon turn for a worse. And then we shall see, the warp and woof of things. They have few of the virtues Aristotle valued, Book. Fewer still of the martial virtues developed in the furnace of war. They are not prepared to fight. They are not prepared to destroy. And in their lack of preparation and capability, they will also be unable to truly create. What can they create that would be of long lasting value? When faced against the fury of the Islamic Jihad as well as the Hurricane of Disbelief. What's funny though is the Athenian tradition of the man-boy relationship. And the Spartan tradition of the woman-girl relationship. History sure has funny rhymes. That is just the thing, Book.
