In order to rally people, governments need enemies... if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

The United States has to have the capability to deal with more than one enemy at one time and be able to confront them and win.

When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.

One of the most time-consuming things is to have an enemy.

The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on.

If the nation is not capable of preserving itself and reproducing, if it loses it vital bearings and ideals, then it doesn't need foreign enemies - it will fall apart on its own.

The idea is that that there is no such thing as an external enemy.

Give the enemy not only a road for flight, but also a means of defending it.
