"... oh, shit, if you're winning, people will support a war since it's not war itself but uncertainty concerning the outcome that bothers them... well, sure, certain feminine types will always get queasy... but in the main it's uncertainty that hurts... and those vexing, annoying issues of right and wrong... which is why, even when losing, support can linger as a way of keeping at bay nasty questions... people have a strong need to rally to a cause if the cause is existential in nature... which is why people always in general tend to believe they're in the right when they go to war, they're compelled by their natures to do so... and why, the more righteous the cause, the greater the likelihood that something is wrong..."
