Robert Heinlein on New War
Motivated by Phil’s Heinlein post, a quote I keep around just in case, from Farmer in the Sky:
A police force is all right for stopping individual disturbances; It’s fine for nipping things in the bud. But when the disturbances are planet wide, no police force is big enough, or strong enough, or wise enough. They’ll try, they’ll try bravely. They won’t succeed.
Seems appropriate.
