Somehow we seem to have become convinced that we could find some way of preserving the existence of our race and our civilization without causing any harm or inconvenience to the people who are killing us. The cosmic scales have to be balanced. How can there ever be justice and freedom without the punishment of those who have done evil? I don’t know. How could we possibly be so foolish as to think that there is some way to solve all this which involves no risk, not even any real inconvenience, to ourselves? We were lazy, cowardly, apathetic, pusillanimous, stupid beyond belief. It’s incomprehensible. I can only pray that we have awakened to the terrible reality of our situation in time.
