   Imperialistu'

   15 noiembrie 2007

   Bun articol. Singurul lucru care mi s-a parut mai ciudat a fost ca mi s-a parut ca a trecut usor peste Hiroshima si Nagasaki. Tonul e de vina. Adevarul e ca sunt de aceeasi parere cu el: oricat de oribile au fost, alternativa era inspaimantatoare – milioane de oameni morti si o tara intoarsa inapoi in timp cu cateva sute de ani. Japonia nu ar fi capitulat in lipsa acestor crime. Chiar si asa, daca era dupa armata imperiala, razboiul ar fi continuat.

   Din pacate, razboiul este un rau necesar. Trebuie sa nu lasi garda jos pentru ca altii vor profita si nu vor ezita sa te atace. Nu intotdeauna adversarul va intelege de vorba buna. Indraznesc sa spun ca in general nu o va face. Peters are dreptate: este exact ca in curtea scolii. Daca vrei sa nu se mai ia lumea de tine, trebuie sa te aperi.

   Cu o completare: daca este posibil, nu trebuie sa ramai un simplu spectator al samavolniciilor comise in alta parte. Daca nu pentru a apara niste valori morale, macar pentru ca s-ar putea ca in viitor sa te afli tu in locul victimei agresiunii.

   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 so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival.” – Winston Churchill

   “Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war.” – Winston Churchill

   “When Hitler attacked the Jews I was not a Jew, therefore I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church – and there was nobody left to be concerned.” – Rev. Martin Niemöller
