Four places to be most careful today: (1) the
borders of Syria and its neighbours, (2) the geographical joint between the two
parts of Mali, (3) the enclave of Gaza, and (4) the inner sanctum of the United
Nations Commission on Human Rights.
There are many heroes on the front lines
protecting the bases of civilization.
Our reporters and academics fail to see it: they call them victims and
participants in illegal wars. In the eyes
of the post-modernists, war has become a war crime: justice no longer counts
for anything.
When whales run aground, many hundreds of
people rush to protect them and lead them back into safe waters. The pod hurtles itself against the shore
again, and then again. The gesture of
the rescuers is noble, but futile; nature is cruel and stupid.
There are many places where women are abused
and murdered on a regular basis. Some
commentators call the perpetrators idiots.
I call them brutal savages.
Idiots don’t know what they are doing.
Before we discover if there is intelligent
life on other planets, we should search for it here on earth.
First knowledge and facts, then understanding
and application, then wisdom.
