In response to On Accusations of Secret Prison Camps, a faithful reader just sent me an IM via Skype,
“It’s important to remember that the security forces are not our friends. They are our tools. They are like pitbulls. Pitbulls are not friends. They are tools. You have them do what you want – serve your purposes. If they start to do what you don’t want, you yank them back. If they prove to be non-heeding, you put a bullet in their heads. Tools, not friends. They do what we desire, when they stop doing so and refuse to heel, they are meant to be eliminated. The role of the people and their representatives in government is to decide when that point has been reached and pull the trigger on the dogs that are not acting according to your desires.”
“If the Europeans have decided that this particular dog needs shot, that is their right, and their duty. The rest of the pitbulls will continue to do what they’re trained to do, but perhaps note the step-too-far that got their packmate put down.”
