Ah, you're feeling cynical today. Maybe this will encourage you:
I've heard reports that only 1/3 of American colonists wanted a revolution. There were 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. Gideon was told by God to select his best men -- and he took on 135,000 with his 300.
We will win because our cause is just and righteous. We will win beacuse each of us has the light of 10,000 suns burning in our eyes -- the light of liberty.
We will win because like the Greeks at Salamis, we fight for something better than religion: we fight to choose our own.
The suicidal Japanese defenders of Tarawa and beyond were amazed at the stream of hi-tech Marines slogging out of the cold waters of the Pacific to root them out of their bunkers with an array of engineering techniques and petrochemical "devices." They were told that Americans weren't willing to die for anything. But we were. And we are. But more than that, they will be shocked by our passion for living.
So will those who oppose us in our cause.
