DM asked Platt: Define success, does not individual success depend on
what the many permit and value?
Platt said: No, just the opposite. Success is being yourself in spite
of the constant pressure of the others to be like them.
I said: Well, then, Platt, by that definition, the terrorists are
successful, aren't they?
Platt said: No, C.L. You don't get it. Terrorists want to be just
like other terrorists.
I'm wondering now if this now means that the US in Iraq is a weak and
unsuccessful effort to act as a "constant pressure" on the terrorists
to get them to be "to be more" like WHAT? Christians? Allah save us
from the missionaries, the inquisitors and the crusaders.
