There is no Capital for us to capture, no flag to win, no king to slay, no leader to negotiate with.
We are fighting an evil that is more like a disease than an enemy army.
It can attack us but we can't fight back. We are a target but there is nothing to shoot back at. It is cunning, it adapts and is ruthless and cruel. Our responses are tightly bound in law and political correctness.
Unless we respond as decisively as the Spanish did to this evil it will prevail over our weakness.
