They're wasting time talking about it. Get on with it already! "The bombing begins in 5 minutes."

[Iris7]

Remember that the bombing DID NOT begin in five minutes. Nonetheless the cold war was won. Politics are ("politics" is plural not singular) all about pecking order, social hierarchies, who commands and who obeys. So is war. War and politics are different words for the same thing. One can say war is bloodier and more ruthless than politics, but then one would have to admit that because the Ukraine famine in the 1930's and the GULAG killed perhaps 70-100 million people then the real killer is not war but politics. Another interesting fact is that the Chinese have always ruled through famine and punitive expeditions induced for political reasons. Famine and massacre are not war, more like "giving them an offer they can't refuse".

As an example remember how you feel when preparing for April 15th.

I attempt to discuss this in my #180.
