Real people are always being slaughtered on the ground.  The
only way you're going to begin to bring an end to that is
romantic speculation, because the slaughter of the innocent
and the power of the slaughterers is the Real, and the idea
of peace, freedom and equality is the Unreal which struggles
against it.  In dubious battle, sure, but what else is there
to do?  Join Senator Lieberman in the flag forest?
