Schrödinger’s War

It's not a war until it's a war.

Schrödinger’s War

It’s not a war.
It’s “military operations.”

We know exactly why we did it. (Some of us think we know why we did it and some of us don’t.)
But they can’t say that to the press. (They lie to the press, and the press lies to us.)
They can’t say it in an address to the American people. (The President addressed the American people, but said a lot of nothing.)
No one knows. (They all know.)
Why we did it. (Power.)

Schrödinger’s cat explains a conflict in quantum physics.
It’s a quantum physics thought experiment circa 1935, where a cat in a sealed box is simultaneously alive and dead. The only way to know the cat’s state is to actually look in the box. The problem is, the act of looking itself influences whether or not the cat is dead or alive.

Why they did it. (Power.)
No one knows. (We all know.)
They can’t say it in an address to the American people. (The President addressed the American people, but said a lot of nothing.)
They can’t say that to the press. (They lie to the press, and the press lies to us.)
But we know exactly why we did it. (Some of us think we know why we did it and some of us don’t.)

It’s more than “military operations.”
It’s war.
