We're long past the time when we could reassure ourselves that "cooler heads will prevail".

No one has the simple, unspectacular courage it would take to stop a mortal coward in his tracks. People would rather have the world explode than do the simple, decent thing, and remove his hands from the reins of power. They're just not capable of doing the right thing, because they never have been. Courage is a habit.
