Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000
RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
A note arrived yesterday from a leader in Iraq bearing these points:
1- The pace of operations of Coalition Forces is very high.
2- The operations continue to meet with great success.
3- Coalition Forces just captured the number two Al Qaeda terrorist in Iraq — Abu Talha and it was awesome.
4- Coalition Forces have been chasing him for over two years and he swore he would never be taken alive. He could have fought back, but went down like a total coward.
5- This guy has sent hundreds of suicide martyrs to their death — guess that jihad and martyr thing is for the other guys — he only wanted power and money.
6- Many of the top leaders were captured shortly after and Coalition Forces have continued to roll up terrorists and even had many turn themselves in knowing they would be captured.
7- Of course, if you listen to the US press you would never know the success Coalition Forces are having and sometimes one thinks they work for the terrorists.
8- Every reporter is asked to tell the truth – good, bad and ugly — but the truth instead of the one-sided negative view they currently portray.
9- The Iraqi people continue to rise up for freedom as Coalition Forces now get an average of 400 hotline tip calls against the terrorists every month, compared to 40 per month back in October.
10- The Iraqi military is also improving daily and out on every mission with Coalition Forces.
11- Lots of work to do, but there is no doubt we are winning and will win this thing if we can stay the course.
12- We will keep taking the fight to these evil bastards.
My comment:
The news from Iraq gets worse as the reality gets better. The din of sedition from professors, politicians and publishers grows with the daily success of OIF and OEF.
As GWOT succeeds, these proponents of anarchy growl the more fiercely, they hate their Mother Country so, not wanting Her to succeed. They are insane. No, they are criminals.
Their enemy is not President Bush, it is structure itself, and specifically the Mother Country, her cultural, religious and moral functions and Her modes of earning peace. Their goal is grasping power and money. Their means are disruption. They are pagans, devotees of Hobbes and Stalin. They scorn the truth that the world is a multi-dimensional unity in relation to which man’s thoughts, words and deeds must conform or be destroyed.
Disruption, on the face of it, as a means to power and money is passing silly. But what is anarchy, anyway, except unwillingness to work for a living, refusal to accept man as he is, where he is, for what he is as reestablished by God in God. To anarchists it appears easier to “take” and call it “my rights” and “justice.”
What belongs to one cannot leave one. What does not belong to one, one cannot have or get. Nothing can be grasped and held by anyone.
Professors, politicians and publishers are supporting terrorists. They are supporting a Thug Army. They are in mortal fear that the efforts of United States and Coalition Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan will succeed. That is their nightmare.
Therefore, they are seeking with ever increasing fury to betray and subvert their Mother Country, Her values, Her structures and Her leaders. Their howls increase as their Mother Country and Her leaders succeed. But they neither can nor will impede the restoration of human values in man’s relations with himself and all other creatures. Nor can they forestall the uprooting of demonic impulses from men’s hearts (the true meaning of Jihad).
Those goals are the mission of United States and Coalition Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan — and soon other countries!
History and the universe are not neutral. They care. They comprise definite, irremovable, irreducible and creative nature and character which together are called Dharma. Dharma [right conduct] supports those who support Dharma, say the Vedas. The Biblical equivalents of Dharma are Mishpat in Hebrew Dikaioma in Greek and Ludicium in Latin.
The world is Dharmic. History and the universe are of God and for God. The world is inside a universe, a self-transcending unity of power and structure, and this universe is saturated in God. The truth is the whole, says Hegel. The world is hardly things and movement merely.
The sedition of professors, politicians and publishers is not new. When UN Forces under General MacArthur tore the guts out of the Red Chinese Army, they said the United States was defeated by the Chinese hordes. When United States Forces under Generals Westmorland and Abrams prevented the Soviet from turning the Southwest Pacific defensive littoral of the Pacific Basin, they said United States efforts in Vietnam were in a quagmire. When President Reagan was defeating the Soviet, they said he was a wild cowboy. When Presidents Bush ordered United States Forces to liberate Kuwait and later Afghanistan and Iraq, they said the Arab street would overwhelm good intentions.
When professors, politicians and publishers wax so, it means they foresee, loath and fear a victory of culture, a reestablishment of the human values of truth, right conduct, peace, love and non-violence — that is, a self-sufficiency of men and women without first from paying tribute to professors, politicians and publishers. They hate those values, even as they mouth some of them platitudinously — although not the second, for, they do not accept the reality of right conduct. Their joy is anarchy, or, as their straightforward brethren call it, tribalism. In philosophy this is called radical autonomy or scientific positivism. It is individualism without standards, based on the mistaken view — supposedly of Darwin, Marx and Russell — that the world is things and movement merely.
The reality anarchists fear and the values they despise are the cultural, religious and moral substance of this Century and the next several. They are the constant essence of existence and therefore of man.
Update 1: ” … far from having any insight into world affairs, he’s a slave to conventional wisdom.”
Let’s say he is, what insights SHOULD he have, that do not conform to conventional wisdom (which usually goes unwise after its moments of applicability)? What would you, Paul, do right now in, say, MENA were you Oval Office Occupant?
Which of us should check clean for honesty? Self-evident answer. So, that’s a relative, not an absolute, measure of fitness for office. Useful but not determinative.
What should be done? Can you develop answers to that question in lieu of nipping at heels?
In 2002-3 there was but one official national voice warning about insufficiencies in the coming invasion: CSA Eric Shinseki, who argued for 600K invasion and *occupation* force. He was right. Not a few lesser lights feared another half-measures invasion and outcome. Even the surge, proving Shinseki’s urgings, was half-measures politically made successful, tenuously, by the skill of certain leadership serendipitously in the AO simultaneously.
The quote to Stern has Trump less than enthusiastic for fear of more half-measures (as in Desert Storm). In the event, his anticipation was accurate. OIF succeeded just barely and without sustainability, and the reason for that was the political decision, by the White House, to not take the whole country to war. They — White House and their commercial backers — wanted a politically cheap war. They got the opposite.
So, Paul, what would you do today in, say, MENA? What’s it look like outside the arm-chair?
