In 1941 we were viciously attacked. Many lives and much property was lost. We were justly angry. We destroyed the enemy, including many, many civilian casualties. It was the natural course of war. The end of the natural course of war is victory for somebody. Without belaboring the obvious parallels, I do not know the natural course of a war that is not a war, or a war waged on a methodology of persuasion, however despicable, or the natural course of a war waged on something that can not be proven to not exist. In the absence of terrorist acts it becomes an existentialist war. We are fighting a war against something that existed, and may still exist. (We have many years to go before this is a reality.) But in the future, we could be fighting a war against terrorism, and/or fighting a war against Bigfoot. Good night.
