I suspect that Sun-Tzu and Robert Heinlein would have gotten along very well as realists and pragmatists about human nature.<br /><br /><br />KevinKevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-82353262835189821822011-02-14T00:53:27.870+09:002011-02-14T00:53:27.870+09:00It's important to note that Sun Tzu's Art ...It's important to note that Sun Tzu's Art of War presents the world as it is, not what people want it to be. His minimalist approach is a much needed reminder for political leaders who still engage in warfare.<br /><br />Thomas Huynh, founder of Sonshi.com, website dedicated to Sun Tzu's Art of WarThomas Huynhhttp://www.sonshi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-12594859415407720902011-02-10T11:58:44.621+09:002011-02-10T11:58:44.621+09:00Aye, verily!

The comment at the end would seem to suggest that this was counterproductive, since most of the minds addressing this material would be of the wrong mindset to benefit from it.
