On the subject that it is good if the bad guys don’t like you:
Some years ago, it was reported that a newly-elected US President went to watch the Secret Service practicing the art of protecting the Chief Executive.
The new President noticed that the officers commonly did not seek cover when they responded to incoming fire at the President.
He asked why they did not seek some sort of cover in order to protect themselves.
The training officer responded that it was the duty of the Secret Service to, if necessary, ‘take a bullet’ for the President.
Well, the President said, no one would want to shoot me.
The officer said, Sir, if there is really no one out there who thinks you are worth a shooting, you are not worth being the President of the United States.
In other words, if you have not enraged some bad guys on your way up the political ladder, you really have not been doing your job.
The US is doing the job in Iraq.
Iran is too, but it is doing the job for the bad guys.
