“For if we merely take what obviously appears the line of least resistance, its obviousness will appeal to the opponent also; and this line may no longer be that of least resistance. In studying the physical aspect, we must never lose sight of the psychological, and only when both are combined is the strategy truly an indirect approach, calculated to dislocate the opponent's balance.” IfsMayLosesLinesStudyMilitaryBalanceApproachAspectSightStrategyResistancePsychologicalAppealsOpponentsIndirectObviousness Author:B.

“We do have to balance this issue of privacy and security. Those who pretend that there's no balance that has to be struck and think we can take a 100-percent absolutist approach to protecting privacy don't recognize that governments are going to be under an enormous burden to prevent the kinds of terrorist acts that not only harm individuals, but also can distort our society and our politics in very dangerous ways.” ThinkingWayKindGovernmentIndividualIssuesSecurityDangerousBalanceApproachPercentBurdenHarmTerroristEnormousPrivacyOur SocietyPrivacy And Security Author:Barack Obama
