Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

Envy is stronger than atom bombs.
The truth is stronger than envy.
Therefore, the truth is stronger than atom bombs.

These are not great men and women in New York, London, Washington, and San Francisco. These are greedy little sick bastards eaten by envy of wealth and happiness enjoyed by Russians, Chinese, Americans, Indians, Iranians, Arabs, and Africans.

They are going to shoot atom bombs at Moscow, Berlin, Beijing, Damascus, and Tehran. There will be answers at New York, London, Washington, and San Francisco at least.

For the rest of us, who have no refuge, God is our refuge.

The real wealth these greedy little sick bastards envy is our riches of nationhood, our spiritual wealth as a nation of neighbors we can trust because we ourselves are trustworthy and happy thereby. They envy us that because they know they are not trustworthy, are not happy, and they don’t trust each other, as well they should not. Yet, we live with them and so with consequences of their envy, protected from the worst of it now and again, perhaps, by Divine Grace in view of the purity of our own hearts.

Then there is this:

Principle I

The United States have no authority in the domestic affairs of other nations and expect other nations to reciprocate by not feigning authority in our domestic affairs. The United States have interest in the lines of communication running between The United States and all other nations. We expect ourselves and other nations to bear fairly the burden of keeping those lines open, safe, reliable, fair, and clean for use by all nations.

Principle II

The United States welcome comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era with our brother nations India and Russia, for correlation, coordination, and promulgation, from their perspectives, of the ground of statecraft set forth in Principle I and urge Japan and Egypt to join us for that endeavor and commitment.

Principle III

An order to deploy which lacks or frustrates intent to compel an enemy to sign a declaration of unconditional surrender is an unlawful order by the Rules of Just War, the Conventions of War, Common Sense, and the Spirit of America. An order to deploy conveys this intent to the Commanding Officer: win this war / battle in a timely manner at the lowest possible cost to yourself and your enemy or do not come back alive.
