The great men of power who seek to change the nations they belong to usually are pretty terrible people.

A war is a horrible thing, but it's also a unifier of countries.

Saddam Hussein was a horrible man, and I am pleased he is no longer running Iraq. But the war was wrong.

A handful of soldiers is always better than a mouthful of arguments.

The utterly fallacious idea at the heart of the pro-war argument is that it is the duty of the anti-war argument to provide an alternative to war. The onus is on them to explain just cause.

First of all, war is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, even on the good days.

War never takes a wicked man by chance, the good man always.

In a war, you must hate somebody or love somebody; you must have a position or you cannot stand what goes on.

If a person can be said to have the wrong attitude, there is no need to pay attention to his arguments.

My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.
