    Without doing the long division necessary, I'll estimate: 25 years.

    So in 2034, when I'm dead, and my now-6 year old grandson is 31, his country will be debt-free if we don't try to borrow more money in the next 25 years (what are the odds of that?).

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
