“
From the beginning of the world up to the present day, there has never been such a thing as a war of liberation… even when the invading power proclaims the ‘occupied’ lands as being inhabited with what it considers to be an extension of its own people, this is merely a cover to delude the lower classes while the ruling classes plot to gain their own advantage over the region. The ruling classes, of course, fail to realise that they are cutting their own throats in the process by ensuring that the lower classes will be able to later use this as an excuse to begin wars of their own, on their own terms…”–Pablo Sanchez, Pax Aeterna, 1845
