We are being driven slowly but ineluctably to the realization that the people whom we are fighting will, to a significant extent, inherit the shattered countries that we leave behind. They are fighting, after all, for their peoples’ right to (mis)manage their affairs in their own way.
Lenta pero inexorablemente, estamos empezando a comprender que aquellos contra quienes combatimos son, en gran medida, los mismos que heredarán los países convulsionados que les dejaremos, y que luchan, al fin y al cabo, por el derecho de sus pueblos a administrar sus asuntos (bien o mal) a su manera.
