i think it was Sun Tzu who said,



"the best policy for the military operations is to gain victory by means of strategy. Next best policy is to disintegrate the enemy's alliances by means of diplomacy; the inferior way is to launch an attack on the enemy; the worst way is to storm cities and seize territory."



soon we shall see if this theory still applies in our modern world.
