I like Schindler's motivation better. "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire." (A paraphrase of the Talmud, and a more general one, which means I like it better.)
The kids are *becoming* the deciders. What we're doing now is a holding action; basically, determining how big a mess they're going to clean up. I want for that mess to include as few human parts as possible, psyches and bodies alike.
And, yes. We're reaching for levers we can grab. Sand in the gears. Give the terrorists some of their own back.
And you watch. We will goddamn save the world. *Somebody's* world.
Pebbles have been thrown. Plonk, plonk. The avalanche has begun.
And this is completely superglued in my brain:
♫ Dusty justice on oil-streaked wings We're not sorry and we are not things The Furies are coming to set ourselves free Who told you that there were only three? Remember me ♫
