"Unrepentant, unyielding violent action is the only course of action that is acceptable against or recognizable by despots, tyrants, and criminals. If you're walking down an alley and see someone mugging or raping someone else, you don't ask them "pretty please" stop, you wouldn't ask someone who broke into your house and is threatening your family to "kindly step back" and walk away. Diplomacy only goes goes so far, interpersonally and on the international stage. And when words coming from people like you inevitably fail to stop a situation that's already gone far past extreme because some dumb fuck just doesn't give a shit anymore, the world turns to people like me to produce a tangible result. A sane person is capable of making logical value judgements, deciding a course of action based on the pros and cons of the potential outcomes, and acting accordingly. I'm not sure how that compares to a mind that is firmly convinced that there is only one possible way to deal with anything, regardless of the criticality of the situation. "
