Cytat
Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

. When asked how long the United States could maintain the war on terrorism, Rumsfeld replied, As long as it isnecessary, and let there be no doubt. Earlier, two weeks after9/11, Rumsfeld predicted that this is not something that.ends with a significant event, such as the signing of the Japanese surrender in 1945. It is something that will involve a sustained effort over a good period of time.It is by its very nature something that cannot be dealt with by some sort of massive attack or invasion. 1 179Pay to WinIs victory possible? My response is that we have to makesure it is possible.We must, in the coming few years, meet achallenge that could otherwise destroy our society in the coming decades.Defining victory, following Rumsfeld, as the elimination of global terrorist networks, I can see no reason in theory why we could not accomplish that task.Our methods willnot resemble past wars.Traditional military campaigns alonecannot secure victory, although they may be necessary components of a victory.Nonmilitary methods include diplomacy,foreign aid, communications, energy policy, and other dimensions of national action toward the elimination of global terrorist networks.In my view, we should be pushing forward vigorously on all these dimensions, not relying unrealistically on either military or nonmilitary means alone to do the job.Butwhether you think military or nonmilitary aspects mattermost, there is a basic relationship between the money (andother resources) we put into the effort and how quickly that effort succeeds.Right now, as the preceding chapters show, theeffort is not succeeding quickly enough.So, logically, we shouldtry putting more money into it, in addition to the adjustmentswe might make to the balance of military and nonmilitarymeans of counterterrorism.By mobilizing all our resources,sharing the sacrifice of paying for them, and focusing our collective attention on the task, we could increase our odds ofwinning and getting back to peace.At least we should try.The phrase for the duration refers to the period until acurrent war ends.It has been used in many historical wars,usually referring to the terms of conscription or enlistment,but it took on a broader meaning during the world warstotal wars that pulled civilian life into the fray.The worldwars engendered the widespread feeling that we were all in ittogether and expected to suffer disruptions and costs in ourlives for the duration. The concept of the duration would 180Pay to Winbe useful to resurrect in the present war, since it implies a finitetime beyond which the promise of peace beckons.Two TimelinesThe 9/11 attacks have been compared with the Japanese attackon Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, in terms of loss of thou-sands of American lives and shock to the national psyche.AfterPearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt made this promise: No matter how long it may take us.the American people intheir righteous might will win through to absolute victory. 2Sure enough, the American people did just that.The task wasmuch harder and the stakes much higher than anything weface today.But the country did it.This time we can start the clock on September 11, 2001,notwithstanding some earlier skirmishes (they blew up ourembassies; we cruise-missiled their training camp).Considerthe progress through mid-2003, nearly two years into the war.A report by the British think tank International Institute forStrategic Studies found Al Qaeda more insidious and just asdangerous as before 9/11.The U.S.troops hunting for terrorists in Afghanistan suffered from too little information, too little understanding of the country, and far too few language interpreters ( terps, as the soldiers call them).Terrorists foundsanctuary in Pakistan where U.S.forces could not follow, andthe training of an Afghan national army had been painfullyslow, according to journalist Daniel Bergner, with fewer thanfive thousand soldiers trained out of seventy thousand needed.A U.S.Special Forces commander, Chris Allen, said that he hadtalked with village elders about building schools and clinics,which he wanted to do, but that he lacked funds for such projects.All the army reconstruction projects in Afghanistan to- 181Pay to Wingether had just $12 million, about fifty cents per capita.A yearand a half after U.S.power routed the Taliban, Bergner foundAfghan children eating bin Laden candies, sugary balls inwrappers showing the leader s face, his pointed finger and thetip of a rocket. 3By an equivalent date after Pearl Harbor October 1943the United States had turned the Pacific tide at Midway, re-taken Guadalcanal, driven Axis forces from North Africa, andforced Italy s surrender
