A paraphrasing, born from the bolded portions below. 1:18 All warfare is based on deception. 1:19 Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. 1:20 Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. 1:21 If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. 1:22 If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. -Sun Tzu - The Art of War --- "That one's called the monkey claw because it feels like my colon is being torn apart by a thousand monkeys." - Sir Terrance Henry Stoot ...
