Do you know what Sun Tzu said about war?

I do, but I suspect you don't. I've probably read Sun Tzu more in the original Chinese than you have in English. Like most everything else, you distort him. The Art of War is above all things a philosophy of avoiding war. Sun Tzu was history's original pacifist.

Know your enemy and know yourself

Well, you've certainly got half that down pat.

Good for you, Johnny. Have some chips...
Keep on talking. You just make it easier.
