A fórmula 3ª parte (XLVII)

 constant conflict

"We will not deal with wars of Realpolitik, but with conflicts spawned of collective emotions, sub-state interests, and systemic collapse. Hatred, jealousy, and greed--emotions rather than strategy--will set the terms of the struggles. "

"Our military power is culturally based. They cannot rival us without becoming us. Wise competitors will not even attempt to defeat us on our terms; rather, they will seek to shift the playing field away from military confrontations or turn to terrorism and nontraditional forms of assault on our national integrity. Only the foolish will fight fair."

- Para os militares não interessa as uniões politicas ou de países, pois estes controlam a NATO, ONU, e têm bases permanentes em todo o lado, por isso é-lhes indiferente se põem um capacete azul ou o fato americano. Guerra é guerra.

"Fear not. We are already masters of information warfare, and we shall get around to defining it eventually. Let the scholars fuss. When it comes to our technology (and all technology is military technology) the Russians can't produce it, the Arabs can't afford it, and no one can steal it fast enough to make a difference."

"Culture is fate. Countries, clans, military services, and individual soldiers are products of their respective cultures, and they are either empowered or imprisoned. The majority of the world's inhabitants are prisoners of their cultures, and they will rage against inadequacies they cannot admit, cannot bear, and cannot escape."

- Ao substituirmos os valores morais e as tradições seculares que fornecem características únicas a cada povo, estamos a destruir o que as bombas não conseguem.

"In the wake of the Soviet collapse, some commentators declared that freedom had won and history was at an end. But freedom will always find enemies. The problem with freedom is that it's just too damned free for tyrants, whether they be dictators, racial or religious supremacists, or abusive husbands. Freedom challenges existing orders, exposes bigotry, opens opportunity, and demands personal responsibility. What could be more threatening to traditional cultures?"

"he advent of this new information age has opened a fresh chapter in the human struggle for, and with, freedom. It will be a bloody chapter, with plenty of computer-smashing and head-bashing. The number one priority of non-Western governments in the coming decades will be to find acceptable terms for the flow of information within their societies. They will uniformly end on the side of conservatism--informational corruption--and will cripple their competitiveness in doing so. Their failure is programmed. "

- Neste último ponto, ele explica claramente o que se passa no médio oriente, com todas aquelas exigências dos povos a que os governantes ou Reis começam a aceder. Veja-se o caso de Marrocos que está em vias de alterar a sua constituição para não se passar o mesmo que aconteceu na Tunísia ou no Egipto.
Grande parte destes países não conseguirá controlar o fluxo de informação, criando clivagens entre a própria população, os mais novos querem mudança enquanto os mais idosos já acostumados à tirania só querem paz e sossego.

- Veja-se o caso da líbia, onde não só se divide para conquistar como se fornece armas e dinheiro a uma das facções (rebeldes) em guerra. O curioso é que esses rebeldes são constituídos entre outros por Talibans, dá para acreditar? Então luta-se num lado contra eles para se ir ajudar no outro? A resposta está no conflito constante, onde o inimigo é o amigo do amanhã.
