“ When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops.

“ we need to abandon the idea that wisdom is knowing everything — the whys, the wherefores, the how-tos. Wisdom is often more subtle, both far simpler and exceedingly more complex.
