Tzu Quotes... "Entice
away the enemy's best and wisest men, so that he may be
left without counselors. Introduce traitors into his
country, that the government policy may be rendered
futile. Foment intrigue and deceit, and thus sow
dissension between the ruler and his ministers. By means
of every artful contrivance, cause deterioration amongst
his men and waste of his treasure. Corrupt his morals by
insidious gifts leading him into excess. Disturb and
unsettle his mind by presenting him with lovely women. --
Sun Tzu"

stupid man has no fear of death. -- Sun Tzu"
