That sounds like Spartacus. We definitely need some Real Politik in this situation. We should ask Willy Brand to come back from beyond, or are we going to leave Xi, Putin, and Pakistan alone around the Taliban table. Courage and temerity are one thing but what about tomorrow? We might not forgive, nor forget in spite of our basic Christian culture advocating forgiveness. But what can we do really to hunt and chase the Islamic State? We don't even know who and where they are. We are dealing here with the Saudi Arabia of Lithium and a few other rare earths. Is the West going to get entrenched in their 2001 mistake? Chirac should have vetoed it in the United Nations, the way he did Iraq. Do you think in the Security Council next week or any day they meet to discuss AQfhanistan that Russia and China are going to accept voting sanctions? Or maybe send troops again? History does not repeat itself, but shortsightedness repeats itself over and over again, even with good glasses or implants.
