Great Nations win without fighting is simply Dialogue is the best way to combat terrorism. Old wine in a new bottle. I thought most of the people (at least the sane ones) would attempt this essay in this perspective so I dropped the idea

I was tempted to attempt Post-modern ethos- a challenge to the West, its solution given exactly in the next line->Look to the east for a holistic progress! But I dropped this idea too because too much philosophy spoil the broth.

At last I attempted Great Nations taking a position against the topic. My thesis was Nations become great only by fighting and then winning. No winning without fighting. Examples: Rise of Islam, colonial powers bla bla.. Fight is not just traditional warfare but also economic, diplomatic and technological warfare. Realpolitik stuff..
