Certainly, your words are clear-sight, and I must agree with you.
We can use EJ as we want (as we are). But, with all due respect I
would like to introduce a new argument:

You talk about the spirit against the titanic forces. Certainly this is
also my view (and position). Where I think your argument falls
down is that you choose a direct confrontation. This is the error
(and the lesson of Der Waldwanger and specially Eumeswill).
When EJ finally understand this situation he became wise ( or old,
to use your word. N.B. you shouldn´t use the word "old" so
contemptuously).  Milosevic could serve here as an example of that
blindness. To fight (and finally win) the titans you should use
completely diferent tactics: what about Troy´s Horse?.
