"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." George W. Bush
"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." George W. Bush
"The reason we start a war is to fight a war, win a war, thereby causing no more war." George W. Bush
"Our nation is somewhat sad, but we’re angry. There’s a certain level of blood lust, but we won’t let it drive our reaction. We’re steady, clear-eyed and patient, but pretty soon we’ll have to start displaying scalps." George W. Bush
(P.S. - Sarah Silverman described the character on her TV show as being "arrogantly ignorant." I think that describes our President.)
"I think war is a dangerous place." George W. Bush
"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war." Donald Rumsfeld
"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." President Thomas Jefferson
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." President 'Teddy' Roosevelt
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin
"Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Robert F. Kennedy
"If a Nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." President Thomas Jefferson
"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation" "In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out. "
- Civl War General "War is Hell" William T. Sherman
