Waging an unnecessary war is a grave mistake.

I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.

I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war, which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.

It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.

Good is the enemy of great.

I think that the Cold War was an exceptional and unnecessary piece of cruelty.

We have as a nation been duped by those who use our guilt about how we treated the innocent pawns in the Vietnam War game - the soldiers - into missing the point once again about the utter senselessness that is war.

The worst thing about war was the sitting around and wondering what you were doing morally.

Preparation for war is a constant stimulus to suspicion and ill will.
