THE ILLUSION OF WINNING

We are in a "Through the looking glass" (apologies to Lewis Carroll) situation where nothing is ever what it seems, or what you believe you see, or what you are told you see. As the White Queen might say to Alice if they were observers of the current scene, "win tomorrow, win yesterday, but never win today". We are really in a "jam".

When we invaded Iraq, we passed through the "Looking Glass" from rationality to madness, and have never been able to see the truth and ultimate consequences of our misadventure.

History tells us there is no way to win.

Only fools press on.
