03/18/2006: "Preemptive Strikes are the Only Way to Survive in the World Today."
I ordinarily avoid talking politics. But let the record show that I'm neither Democrat nor Republican. I am a Libertarian both capitalized and non-capitalized. I have no axe to grind. Nor is anyone going to pay much attention to my opinion as it's not my field, for which I'm grateful.
But I do have a very strong opinion about preemptive strikes; about taking care of business before it's too late. My opinion is based in history. And I apply this theory to my business life as well as to my opinions about war.
Winston Churchill said, "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Let us learn from history lest it repeats itself.
