Realistic Goal

Between 2007 and 2011, Wootton Bassett, a small Wiltshire town in the UK, became the focus of national attention as its residents responded to the regular repatriations of dead soldiers through its High Street. The town’s response came to symbolize the way that broader attitudes developed and changed over that period. As such, it is a fascinating case study in civil–military relations in the twenty-first century. Success may be the same as victory, but victory, at least as it has been traditionally understood, is not a realistic goal in many types of contemporary conflict. Discretionary wars—conflicts in which national survival is not an issue and even vital national interests may not be at stake—pose particular challenges for any government which does not explain why the cost being paid in blood and treasure is ‘worth it’.

Realistic Goal

Both calcaneal and central tarsal bone fractures are commonly encountered in the racing greyhound. While isolated fractures of the numbered tarsal bones are uncommon, malleolar fractures are encountered frequently in small animal practice. Fractures of the central tarsal bone or calcaneal fractures in both dogs and cats may be either fatigue or stress fractures, or associated with Knees and Teeth Syndrome, which may alter the typically expected presentation and prompt assessment for additional fractures, both in the tarsus and elsewhere. Surgical stabilisation is often the treatment of choice, particularly for fractures with an articular component. In many cases, surgical stabilisation leads to a positive outcome, with Greyhounds often being able to return to racing. However, it is important to be aware that fractures in non-racing dogs tend to be more complex and that this good prognosis may not be appropriate to extrapolate. Depending on the nature and severity of injuries, joint preservation may not always be a realistic goal. If the joint cannot be preserved, arthrodesis may become necessary.

Realistic Goal

We should start by noting that, even today, not all post-conflict situations are marked by a return to true peace. A situation of latent conflict often persists, ranging from isolated hostile acts, sometimes terrorist in nature, to sporadic military operations which maintain a climate of aggressivity. In such situations, it may be hard to ensure the security conditions which are so vital to the proper functioning of justice. Effective justice is thus conditioned by an essentially political factor: without a real consensus on ending armed conflict, it is impossible to restore an order in which justice can be seen as a realistic goal. However, if there is no political will to punish those responsible for behaviour that is morally unacceptable, quite apart from being legally criminal, it will be impossible to pave the way for authentic peace.
