Sweet is war to those who know it not. Pindar

with the passions of the body,
with the seditions of the city
and the discords of families.-- Pythagoras

-- Mahatma Gandhi

We should not march into Baghdad ... To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us, and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero ... assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war. It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability. Ð George H. W. Bush, 41st U. S. President from "A World Transformed," 1998

As long as there are men, there will be wars. -- Albert Einstein
