But he's right. The Meri are bound to an empty hope. They'll keep coming for us, posturing like self-proclaimed heroes. Don't fall for it, there is nothing heroic about desperately clinging to lies. Since they cannot be convinced it is better to crush them until they see reason, don't you think?

Through war, we can end their pitiable suffering.

Which suits me just fine. I'll win this war for us. Depend on me!
