It does the sheep no good to preach the goodness of a diet of grass, if the wolves are of a different mind.
Terry GoodkindReasons are the spoils of victory. When you've destroyed the enemy, then your leaders write down the reasons in books, and give moving speeches about them. If you've done your job, then there aren't any of the enemy left to dispute your leader's reasons. At least not until the next war.
