[Peace-discuss] Military "major" at UI

[Carl G. Estabrook]

= a conclusion that's been clear at least from the fifth century BCE:

Thucydides wrote in his History of the Peloponnesian War, "...the  
strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven away,
The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again.

--from Auden's "September 1, 1939"
