I'd rather you die, quickly and horribly. Learning is optional, and not recommended. 
War isn't fair, and after all, there can be only ONE.

Re: Is this \"cheese\"?
Why should you want someone to die quickly? I humbly question the wisdom of such a choice Arryn. It seems like an awful waste to me if you happen to be the one killing. I mean, there is so much you could do in this moment between life and death, so I fail to see the point of rushing in this case.
*Casts Quickness and runs away very quickly, just in case* Better safe than worry, and so on.

Because I have other matters to attend to. Why waste time gloating, er, savoring the victory? There'll be time enough for all that once one reigns supreme ...

I wonder why you don't like Bush then . He seems to follow that doctrine very well  . ( No sarcasm/irony intended )

No. Bush does, in fact, gloat. And where victory no more exists than WMDs. An old saying (which Bush never learned apparently) goes "you can fool some of the people all of the time, ..." (such as Republicans) "and all of the people some of the time, ..." (such as the overwhelming majority who originally supported US involvement in Iraq) "but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." (which is precisely what the Bush administration has been trying to do for 4 years)

What's WMDs ? Never heard that abbreviation before but when i asked an american he said he doesn't know what this means too .
So please write the full expression since it is the key part for understanding this sentence
On topic :
For becoming an Imperator to make it enjoyable you would need either some kind of superpower like Emperor Palpantine but that's science fiction or a reliable Ai and something like terminators which is atm still science fiction but may change in the next 50-100 years .
Without this you just live in endless fear that the next precision weapon kills you ( like Saddam ) or that one of your minions wants to replace you .
Not a very enjoyable life

In most cases, it means "Weapons of Mass Destruction". WMD may also stand for "Weapons of Mass Distraction" or "Weapons of Mass Disinformation", in reference to their absence from Irak, but it should be explained in such cases.

Re: Is this \"cheese\"?
Don't you have more than a few minions with nothing better to do than plot your taking over the world? Surely you need not waste your time with such trivial concerns; installing your hegemony should be a matter of months, if any trouble at all. What good are sidekicks for if you do not use them in your global schemes?
*Throwns in some flattery as a Last-minute addition* I must admit my smaller mind cannot fully discern your patterns of thought; would you be so kind as to shed some light on this matter?

Waste not, want not. Besides, why would I permit a minion a pleasure I deny myself? Silly, silly man.

No. Ponder the possibilities as you savor my inscrutable silence.
