Being forced into close physical proximity with Doctor Hannibal Lecter was an informative experience. I learned useful things about the human condition.

More wardens should interrogate their inmates in this fashion.

Warden T'Pol, the dispersal system we discussed is ready for your evaluation.

Private - Rex Lewis:

Interruption was unfortunate, but your collaboration on the model was a valuable learning experience. I'd like to be involved in future scientific projects you have in mind.

This strategy is flawed. You rely on ideology at the expense of military practicality.

Who needs to win a war when war = peace, comrade?

[i_like_your]

The goal of conflict is usually victory.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

For you, perhaps.

[i_like_your]

Self-perpetuating conflict invites the possibility of defeat.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Not when all the powers at war are so immense that none could win over the other, and none has an interest in winning.

[i_like_your]

The slightest fracture could always be exploited.

This is not war. It is moderated attrition.

Moderated attrition is a good name for it. But technically, it is war enough to suit our purposes.

There are more constructive and rational ways to eliminate your surplus populations.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Oh, it has nothing to do with surplus populations.

It's about controlling the actual population. Providing a permanent enemy.

[i_like_your]

There are easier ways of accomplishing this, too.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

But none so ideologically complete.

[i_like_your]

Your society is unhealthy. It requires modification.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Only according to your standards, comrade.

[i_like_your]

They are practical standards.
