But, to fine tune it for you, Tanky, here was my implication. Wolfie was
blaming the innocent victims for being bombed by the U.S., because it is
their custom to shoot AKs airwards at weddings. Blaming the victims and
their tribal wedding customs is not going to win you hearts and minds.

Pointing out that shooting weapons into the air in an area with
insugents around is a bad idea is blaming the victims ?

You're right, Tanky, and I'm wrong. The Pakistanis understand all this
friendly fire business and love the U.S. to pieces.

Hey I don't care if you don't want to hear it.

More rational an explanation than the fellow who want''s to claim it
policy to go around shooting up weddings.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic
feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety,
is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless
made so and kept so by the exertions of much better men than himself.
