1. Short term/ long term
In the short term you can accomplish alot with a sword. But you can only "lose" once. The pen can "work" forever, long after you "lost" to the sword.

.....but only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp.

12. So called "Freedom" of speech in the United States is what's led to Israel's actions
as well as American support for abandoning its own and international law and embracing torture and war crimes.

Among many other dysfunctional domestic deals
