Our view is this: "that side has power and wealth that we want, but we can't use that as the reason for losing so many of our men and women, so we'll just make up a difference and fool them into thinking it's for some glorious reason."
"War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle..."
Who is this 'we'?
