you quit trying to have it both ways. There's nothing irresponsible about doing what works. That's the exact opposite of irresponsible. Wasting all that time with the lying self-dealers at the UN was the closest thing to irresponsible. All those years of doing nothing at all was grossly irresponsible. Immoral, even.
Remember: nobody had any better ideas. Nobody. Don't argue with success. You'll lose every time.
