"Do you want a serious answer, sir?"
"Yes
Hearn kneaded his thighs with his large hands"I don't know, I'm not sureWith all the contradictions, I suppose there's an objective right on our sideOver here, as far as I'm concerned, it's the imperialism tossupEither we louse up Asia or Japan doesAnd I imagine our methods will be a little less drastic

"It seems to me, Robert, you can do a little better than that
"All right, I canThere's an osmosis in war, call it what you will, but the victors always tend to assume thethe, eh, trappings of the lowerWe might easily go Fascist after we win, and then the answer's really a problem He puffed at his cigarette"I don't go in for the long viewsFor want of a better idea I just assume it's a bad thing when millions of people are killed because one joker has to get
