There Are Always Two Wars

Reader comment on item: Nothing Succeeds Like Failure

Submitted by Barry Black (United States), Nov 3, 2014 at 10:36

In today's environment, there are always two wars. Unless you completely vanquish your enemy, the second war is the propaganda one and sometime that might be the one that counts. In today's world of political intrigue countries fear to vanquish an enemy and while an enemy may lose the hot war, it can win the propaganda war.

Hamas and Hizbollah are prime examples.
