Sun Tzu unfortunately was not read by Temujin (AKA Ghenghis Khan) whose motto was; "You may have what you can take. You may keep what you can hold"
In one sentence he summed up the rule of war, politics, economics and life in general.

TemujinI've been reading a lot about him lately. The greatest conqueror of all time, a brilliant strategist, and a fierce leader whose troops followed and obeyed out respect for him as man and warrior. To bad he didn't write a book of military maxims.

Good information. In fact, so good that I just checked your profile. Please tell Steve M. that I am one of his biggest fans! Got so tired of not being able to get WABC online (strike), that I finally gave up. Thanks to you, I bookmarked his website.
Awesome! I am one happy camper tonight!

"You may have what you can take. You may keep what you can hold" Yes, and you can sum up all of Sun Tzu as: "Never pick a fair fight."

Good morning.
There is really only one rule of war that matters.
Don't lose.
