If you think that allowing an adversary to get away with a lie if it avoids a war is unacceptable because you are angry and want revenge, let me gently suggest to you that you are not the adult in the room in this situation. A planet covered with rival armies all bickering with each other and a city full of gangs all running around shooting at each other are no different. Or the hatfields and McCoys engaging in tit for tat shootings. We really do as a species act like stupid children. If it was a lab leak, nobody ought to be doing these insanely stupid experiments in the first place. Including us. That’s the takeaway lesson. Not “I’m angry and I can’t control my feelings! Let’s have a war!”
