History teaches us that certain nations, certain peoples, and certain
religions at peculiar periods in their history take a momentary, but deadly
leave of their senses -- Napoleon's France for most of a decade, the
southern states in 1861, Japan in 1931, Germany in 1939, and Russia after
World War II. And when they do, they cannot be bribed, apologized to, or
sweet-talked -- only defeated. -- Victor Davis Hanson
