Fear, that unknowable and all-powerful enemy, has invaded us all, like a secret army of shadows.

Conflict defines nations. Enemies justify armies. Wars glorify generals. Without his great enemy to give him purpose and meaning, he will be significantly diminished. He will have to come to terms with us.
