Atonement We will never be an aggressor

Atonement

We will never be an aggressor. About the quote : From a speech on nuclear weapons, March 23, 1 History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap. We must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. Governments first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. A people free to choose will always choose peace. The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating atonement wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people. If you sacrifice liberty for security, you will lose both. Do they think if we destroy our freedoms for the terrorists they will no longer have a reason to attack us? Terror is a tactic. We can not wage war against a tactic. Those who do not move, do not notice their chains. Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that atonement requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things. The fact that certain planets are uninhabited may very well derive from the fact that their nuclear scientist are more advanced than ours. Salon Gahlin, Swedish author No one has ever succeeded in keeping nations at war except by lies. How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words! War-after all, what is it that the people get? Why-widows, taxes, wooden legs and debt. If you support any offensive war, consider yourself just as culpable of murder as the most insane serial killer. Not only is war a form of legalized murder, but it is mass serial killing. Id like to think the best bunker buster is a diplomat. We are the ones responsible to determine whether the war that our marines, soldiers and airmen are fighting in is worth the We say that we care about the war, but we dont even really know what atonement fighting for. Iraq was a war of choice, not necessity. About the quote : From a speech delivered Wed. July 6, 200 Tis not, my country right or wrong; tis, my country, that which is right to be kept right, that which is wrong to be set right About the quote : from his senate remarks 2/29/ published in The Policy of Imperialism, Speeches, Correspondence and Political Papers of Carl Schurz, vol. 6, pp. 11920 1 The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust our own government statements. Senator James W. Fulbright War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality. National defense is the usual pretext for the policy of fleecing the people. About the quote : US SenatorSC, lived from 1753-1824 Before the war is ended, the war party assumes the divine right to denounce and silence all opposition to war as unpatriotic and cowardly. Senator Robert M. La Follette Every nation has its war party. It is not the party of democracy. It is the party of autocracy. It seeks to dominate absolutely.
