If a man is not afraid of the bull and fights, that is nothing special.
If a man is afraid of the bull and fights anyway, that is courage.
I find a measure of comfort in the hope that unlike his predecessor, this president has the courage, the character and the judgment to make his decisions based on the best possible information and advice available to him. There are no guarantees he will make the right choice, or even the best choice. But I am hopeful that when the moment comes for him to decide the course he will take, he will make that choice with his eyes wide open. That is the most anyone can do when facing an uncertain future full of bad choices.

but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity."
