We win, they lose

Reader comment on item: No Pipe Dream

Submitted by David W. Lincoln (Canada), Oct 22, 2007 at 22:06

Ronald Reagan, as I recall how the story goes, said in the Oval Office to Dick Allan, his NSC advisor that the goal of American/Soviet relations is, we win - they lose. The world has benefited from the lowering of the hammer and sickle, and so I propose that the same strategy be used against those who lionize the cribbed notes of a heretical monk. For those notes were used to justify man's inhumanity to man, by those who continue to follow in the footsteps of what stormed out of the Arabian Peninsula 1400 years ago. How? Why? Simply for this reason - I don't see anyone who fits the definition listed above writing J'Accuse. Instead I see progressing beyond where Mein Kampf left off.
